nypost.com

A girl in West Virginia had a very close call with a reckless driver after getting off her school bus. The incident happened on March 14 in Kanawha County. A video shows her stepping off the bus and looking down at her phone when a car suddenly speeds by, almost hitting her. The video captures the moment the girl crosses in front of the bus. She notices the approaching Lincoln sedan at the last second and quickly stops, narrowly avoiding being struck. The car, which did not slow down, continued driving away as a cloud of dust swirled around her. Local police are looking for help to find the driver. They shared the video and details about the car, which was badly damaged, with parts of it nearly falling off. On March 20, Kevin Webster, a man from Saint Albans, was arrested. He was charged with driving under the influence, passing a school bus, and reckless driving. It took authorities about 30 minutes to identify Webster as the car's owner after the footage was shared. However, it took longer to confirm he was the one driving during the incident.
