Multiple sources confirm to Scripps News Detroit that the driver, a 25-year DDOT employee, was also behind the wheel in 2015 when her bus ran over a man. Joey Davis had reportedly just gotten off the bus and retrieved his bicycle from a rack attached to the front when he was struck. Surveillance video showed that the bus driver appeared to be looking in her rear-view mirror — not at the man in front of her bus — when she took her foot off the brake and drove over him. Despite the considerable settlement, the city did not fire the driver. Instead, she was retrained by the city and remained a DDOT bus driver.
