DA not pursuing charges in Times Square bus crash

Kemberly Richardson

TIMES SQUARE (WABC) -- The Manhattan District Attorney is currently not pursuing any charges at this time against the Gray Line bus driver who slammed into another bus and a light pole in Times Square on Tuesday, in an accident that left more than a dozen people hurt.

Authorities say preliminary drug and alcohol tests came back negative.

William Dalambert, 58, of Irvington, was arrested at the scene because he failed his field sobriety test and was expected to be charged with DWAI, even though he passed a Breathalyzer test. A full drug and alcohol screen is pending.

"We are taking this matter seriously," DA Office spokeswoman Joan Vollero said in a statement. &quot Prosecutors) are conducting a thorough investigation."
