Arraignment set for bus driver in south Georgia crash

WOODBINE - Court records show that the driver of a charter bus that crashed last April, injuring 46 high school students from North Carolina, will be arraigned next month on multiple charges. <br> <br> Darol Britt of Fayetteville, North Carolina, is charged with seven counts of felony serious injury by vehicle and one count of misdemeanor reckless driving. <br> <br> If convicted, Britt could face up to 15 years in prison for each felony count and as much as one year in jail and a $1,000 fine. <br> <br> Camden County Sheriff&#39;s Lieutenant William Terrell said the 38-year-old Britt was arrested yesterday and released on $35,000 bond. Bitt missed a court date in Camden County earlier in January. <br> <br> His arraignment hearing is set for February 27. <br> <br> The crash happened about 6:15 a.m. on April sixth, 2001, about a mile north of the Georgia-Florida border on Interstate 95. <br> <br> Students and chaperones from Massey Hill Classical High School said Britt appeared sleepy while driving the bus, which drifted across the highway, tipped onto its left side and skidded along a guardrail. <br> <br> Of the 46 people injured in the wreck, 12 were hospitalized in St. Marys and Jacksonville, Florida, for several days.
