Early findings suggest traffic slowed due to a work zone, but the bus did not slow and struck multiple vehicles, with 34 patients transported to hospitals. The driver, who reportedly immigrated from China, obtained his CDL in New York in 2024 and reportedly does not speak english, prompting DOT Secretary Sean Duffy to argue existing rules must be enforced, including for drivers who cannot communicate in English.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/department-of-transportation\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"2527\">Transportation Department<\/a> issued a subpoena to <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/new-york\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"61\">New York<\/a> as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/desantis-ally-at-center-of-federal-investigation-into-florida-department-of-education\/\" title=\"Federal investigation into Florida ... of Education focuses on DeSantis ally.\">federal investigators probe<\/a> a deadly Interstate 95 bus crash in <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/virginia\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"96\">Virginia<\/a>, accusing the state of failing to provide records related to the commercial driver\u2019s license of the driver involved in the wreck.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The subpoena, issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and obtained by the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em>, demands that the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles turn over documents connected to Jing Sheng Dong, the commercial bus driver believed to have been operating the vehicle involved in <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/4586875\/multiple-dead-after-bus-crash-virginia\/\">a multivehicle crash on Friday<\/a> in Stafford County, Virginia.<\/p>\n<section class=\"explore-more-section\" id=\"wex-recommended-widget\">\n<div class=\"magazine-container single\">\n<h1 class=\"magazine-title mt-2\">Recommended Stories<\/h1>\n<p>             <i class=\"fa-solid fa-play icon\"><\/i>         <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-grid\">\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/infrastructure\/4586976\/trump-administration-dc-federal-property-real-estate\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Trump administration sells major DC federal property in push to shrink real estate footprint<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/infrastructure\/4586808\/fire-penn-station-injures-five-distrupts-amtrak-lirr-service\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Fire at Penn Station injures five and disrupts Amtrak and LIRR service<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/infrastructure\/4586808\/fire-penn-station-injures-five-disrupts-amtrak-lirr-service\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Fire at Penn Station injures five and disrupts Amtrak and LIRR service<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the subpoena, federal investigators are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/watchdog-unveils-sweeping-records-investigation-into-biden-family\/\" title=\"Watchdog Unveils Sweeping Records Investigation Into Biden Family\">seeking records related<\/a> to Dong\u2019s commercial driver\u2019s license, entry-level driver training, and any documents connected to an investigation of a driving school identified as \u201c7 CDL Driving School.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The FMCSA said it was unable to obtain the requested records \u201cthrough other reasonable means\u201d and therefore resorted to issuing a subpoena.
