Lawsuits filed in Grant Circuit Court against Grant County school bus driver Angelynna Young allege she "had little or no sleep the night before" and was "under the influence of prescription and illegal substances" when she crashed her bus into a utility pole on Jan. 17.
The parents of 12-year-old Cody Shively name 21 Grant County School District officials and plan to investigate which school officials could be held personally liable for the crash. The suit claims school officials were negligent when they "ignored complaints" about Young's driving and allowed her to continue driving the bus. Young had no disciplinary actions or complaints in her personnel file but several parents of injured students had told The Enquirer that they complained to the school several times about Young's driving.
After the crash, state police found 41 bottles of prescription drugs in Young's home. She has been charged with two counts of first-degree assault, 15 counts of first-degree wanton endangerment, three felony drug charges and five misdemeanor drug charges.
