Pulling Over
“When there was a turn, a right hand turn and when she took it she was going far too fast,” said student Mason Persiani about his school bus driver. “She ended up being halfway into the opposing lane of traffic.” Then driver Lori Ann Mankos decided to stop: Pennsylvania state police say she handed the bus keys to an employee at a gas station and walked away, leaving the middle and high school students aboard. Some waited for a replacement driver, while others were picked up by their parents. Mankos was picked up too — at home, by the police. Her new charges: 26 counts of endangering the welfare of children, and one of driving under the influence. (AC/WFMZ Allentown) ...And no counts of being a good influence.Original Publication Date: 17 March 2019
