Police had not charged a driver Friday for striking a boy with her car as he boarded a bus in Carroll County, state police said.
Rachel Cosden, 21, of the 2200 block of Carrollton Road, Westminster, failed to stop Thursday for a school bus?s flashing lights and hit Christopher Vain-Dolan, 14, of the 1200 block of Deer Park Road, state police said.
Vain-Dolan?s condition improved from critical to good at Johns Hopkins Children?s Center, said Katerina Pesheva, center spokeswoman.
Carroll County Sheriff?s Office led a crackdown this year on motorists who failed to stop for the flashing lights and the red “STOP” arm on school buses, citing more violators so far this school year than all of last year,
said Lt. Phil Kasten, sheriff?s office spokesman.
To date, Kasten said, the sheriff?s office has cited about 70 people for failing to stop for a bus?s flashing lights.
On Thursday, 22 violators were found guilty in Carroll County District Court.
Penalties can include a $555 fine and three points on a driver?s license.
The sheriff?s office spent a $10,000 grant this year on overtime pay for deputies enforcing the crackdown.
