The company that operated a commercial tour bus involved in a deadly crash this week has been issued a cease-and-desist order after the U.S. Department of Transportation said it tried to resume operations under a different name.
Four people were killed and 53 others injured Tuesday when the Sky Express bus ran off Interstate 95 near Fredericksburg, Virginia, and overturned.
Investigators have blamed the wreck on driver fatigue.
The 37-year-old driver of the bus, Kin Yiu Cheung of Flushing, New York, has been charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter and reckless driving.
The Charlotte, North Carolina-based Sky Express Inc. had been placed out of service Tuesday by the transportation department’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration for multiple federal safety violations, which prohibited it from operating interstate transportation services.
