Yet Another Bus Crash at Walt Disney World

LAKE BUENA VISTA -- A Disney bus driver is now facing charges crashing into an SUV.
   
Officials said the crash was not as severe as Thursday’s deadly Disney crash that killed a 9-year-old boy.
The Florida Highway Patrol said the latest accident happened late Saturday morning, when the bus rear-ended an Ohio man’s SUV at World Drive and Buena Vista Drive, near the entrance to Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
The SUV was then pushed into a Disney-owned van.
Troopers said the impact in Saturday’s crash was minor, but the bus driver, identified as Fredrick Cassens, 80, of Auburndale, needed some medical assistance.
Officials said Cassens did not have to go to the hospital.
Cassens has been charged with careless driving.
The other drivers were identified as Mark Sigman, 47, of Ohio, in the SUV; and Brianna Berry, 20, of Texas, driving the van.
The latest bus accident at Walt Disney World comes just two days after Chase Brubaker, 9, died after he was run over by a bus Thursday while riding his bicycle at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground.
Troopers said Chase’s bike swerved into the road and hit the bus, but the boy’s parents said Friday that Disney was to blame for the death of their son.
