The driver of a bus that caught fire while carrying nursing-home patients fleeing Hurricane Rita was charged Monday with criminally negligent homicide in the deaths of 23 passengers.
Juan Robles Gutierrez, 37, a Mexican citizen, was taken into federal custody on an immigration violation five days after the Sept. 23 explosion near Dallas.
Sheriff’s spokesman Sgt. Don Peritz would not give any specific examples of any negligence by Robles.
There was no comment from the bus company, Global Limo Inc., which was shut down by federal regulators Oct. 7.
