Truck Driver in Fatal Accident with School Bus had Suspended License

A tractor-trailer driven by a truck driver for Whole Foods Market Group jackknifed, rolled and collided with a Chippewa Falls school bus, killing 5 and injuring 29. The accident occurred near Osseo, Wisconsin.

At the time of the accident, the driver, 22-year old Michael Koslowski, had a suspended license for failure to pay the fine on a recent speeding ticket. Whole Foods representative Kate Lowery defended the company, saying Koslowski was not driving for the company at the time. Furthermore, she called ht driver’s suspension an “administrative glitch.”

Investigators for the National Transportation Safety Board and the Wisconsin State Patrol are working with the Claire County District Attorney’s office, examining the evidence and the possibility of filing charges.
