Bus Driver Charged After Hitting, Killing Student

PITTSBURGH (AP) – Authorities have charged a Port Authority bus driver with involuntary manslaughter months after she struck and killed a University of Pittsburgh student. Pittsburgh police on Wednesday also charged 33-year-old Shavonne James with reckless driving, failure to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks and operating an improperly equipped vehicle. It could not be determined if James has a lawyer. James was behind the wheel on Jan. 18 when she turned and hit 20-year-old Barbara Como of Chester Springs. The college senior studied anthropology and psychology. School officials said she was on track to graduate this year.
