The bus driver involved in a crash on a Virginia highway that resulted in five fatalities has been indicted on more charges. Prosecutors announced on Monday that Jing Sheng Dong, a 48-year-old tour bus driver from Staten Island, New York, now faces three additional felony counts of involuntary manslaughter. He also faces a misdemeanor charge for reckless driving. Eric Olsen, Stafford Commonwealth District Attorney, provided these details.

Previously, Dong was charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter. Each count can lead to a sentence of up to 10 years in prison. The accident, which occurred early on the morning of May 30, resulted in injuries for nearly four dozen people, including Dong himself. He remains hospitalized but will be transferred to the Rappahannock Regional Jail after his release.

According to the Virginia State Police, the initial investigation revealed that traffic had slowed in the southbound lane on Interstate 95 in Stafford County due to an approaching work zone. The bus allegedly failed to slow down in time, colliding with six vehicles at around 2:35 a.m. The National Transportation Safety Board is also conducting an investigation alongside state police. It reported that the bus was run by E&P Travel of Kings Mountain, North Carolina, and was transporting passengers from New York to North Carolina.

In the sequence of collisions, the bus first hit a Chevrolet Suburban, which then collided with an Acura SUV and other vehicles. The crash claimed the lives of four members of a family from Greenfield, Massachusetts, who were traveling in the Acura. Dmitri Doncev, 45, his wife Ecterina, 44, and their two children, Emily, 13, and Mark, 7, lost their lives while on their journey to a wedding in South Carolina. Additionally, a victim from the Suburban was identified as Priscilla Mafalda, 25, from Worcester, Massachusetts.
