A garbage truck driver has been charged with misdemeanor death by motor vehicle for the accident that killed a school bus driver in Union County Monday.
Highway patrol believes there was some kind of distraction inside the garbage truck, which led them to file the charge.
Timothy Jerome McManus of Indian Trail was killed after a garbage truck crossed the center line. The garbage truck driver's identity has not yet been released.
The crash happened around 3 p.m. on New Town Road in Wesley Chapel near the Silver Creek neighborhood.
Troopers say McManus was driving school bus #334 and had just finished dropping off kids who attend Central Academy of Technology and Arts, or CATA. No students were on the bus at the time of the accident.
McManus was a bus driver with Union County Schools for three years.
