Catch up on the developing stories making headlines.MORRISTOWN, N.J. -- The driver of a school bus who veered across Interstate 80 in New Jersey after missing an exit and crashed into a dump truck, killing a teacher and a student and injuring dozens of others, was sentenced Wednesday to 10 years in prison.
The bus carrying students and teachers from a Paramus middle school merged onto the highway and then headed across three lanes toward a median turnaround limited to official vehicles. Wednesday's sentencing took place in a courtroom packed with the two victims' friends and relatives, many of whom read statements to the court.
Prosecutors had recommended a 10-year sentence as part of an agreement that included dismissal of 20 additional charges of assault by auto.
