Like a lot of people, I thought this was a slam-dunk case of texting and driving. However, the woman who drove into a Wellington school bus at 55 MPH says she was overwhelmed by sun’s glare.

You’ve got sun right there on the horizon, That’s all I can remember up to the accident

According to CBS4, Ashlie Dickerson claims she wasn’t texting when she slammed into the back of the bus.   She says she never sent a text at all that day and the only calls she received were from her boss asking where she was.

The Colorado State Patrol cited Dickerson with “inattentive” or careless driving. She is thankful and grateful no children on the bus were seriously hurt. Dickerson was seriously injured by the crash.
