Driver charged in Arkansas bus crash that killed 4

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. -- The driver of a passenger bus that crashed in east Arkansas, killing four, faces four counts of felony negligent homicide after he tested positive for amphetamines, a prosecutor said.

Witness statements portrayed the driver as acting and driving erratically on the rain-slicked portion of Interstate 40 near Forrest City. The bus crossed the interstate median, colliding with a pickup truck and a tractor trailer. Three people on the bus, as well as the driver of the pickup, died from their injuries. More than 20 others suffered injuries.
