The collision between the MTA bus and the school bus killed six people and injured 10 others in southwest Baltimore on Nov. 1.

The attorney representing the victims said they want two main things out of this lawsuit. The victims seek compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering and injuries. The victims also want the defendant to be held accountable for what happened and to be penalized and punished for the crash.

Antwan Baker, the husband of the MTA bus driver, Ebonee Baker, who was killed in the crash, was at the news conference Thursday afternoon.

“I lost my wife, my best friend. My kids lost their mom. I guess I don’t even know what to say. I will never be the same, so we just live day for day,” Baker said.

Bus crash victim, Michelle Kennedy, also spoke at the news conference.

Kennedy described her life following the crash and trying to get back to work.

“I tried to go and I couldn’t do it. My body wouldn’t let me. I get massive headaches, where it is as though I can’t hardly see. I have to squint my eyes. It’s just been really terrible for me (and) my kids. My baby wonders why mommy is crying. I might be in so much pain sometimes, it’s ridiculous,” Kennedy said.

The National Transportation Safety Board on April 11 released its report citing three safety recommendations, and urged the Baltimore City Public Schools’ transportation department to take a good look at its policies on how it chooses bus drivers.

According to information obtained by NTSB investigators, Glenn R. Chappell, 67, of Baltimore, the school bus driver, had a history of hypertension, diabetes and seizures. In the past five years, he had been involved in at least 12 crashes or incidents, while operating a school bus or personal vehicle. Chappell was also killed in the crash.

“To think that this tragedy could have been prevented had several key people simply done their jobs and they didn’t,” attorney Hassan Murphy said.

The lawsuit alleges Concentra and AA Affordable should have known about Chappell’s history and stopped him from driving.
