A Perkiomen bus driver lied to authorities about the accident that took the life of one man, injured another and endangered more than 40 children, says the Montgomery County D.A.

Fredrick Poust III, 38, was charged Monday with homicide by vehicle and almost a dozen counts of failure to stop at a stop sign in connection with an accident outside Perkiomen Middle School West on February 17, authorities said.

Poust was making a turn into the school around 7:30 a.m. when the bus collided with a Honda Civic. Richard Taylor, 27, a passenger in the car, was killed and the driver, Freddy Carol, 41, was airlifted to a hospital with serious injuries. Five children on the bus also suffered minor injuries.

After the crash, Poust told authorities he slowed to make the turn when the Civic rammed into the bus.
