Ignoring pleas from students to slow down, a Prince George’s County school bus driver swerved along Riverdale Road Wednesday morning before finally flipping the vehicle, according to students on the bus.

“He was trying to be funny,” Shaqual Haskell, 13, said. The bespectacled eighth-grader at Riverdale’s William Wirt Middle School came away from the crash with a sprained neck and a baseball-sized lump on her forehead.
