On a Friday morning in Virginia, a tour bus failed to slow for traffic in a highway work zone, setting off a chain of collisions that took five lives and injured dozens more. Among the dead was a Massachusetts family of four traveling to a wedding — a journey that ended in an instant of negligence on Interstate 95. The driver, Jing S Dong, now faces felony charges, and the case has reopened enduring questions about the weight of responsibility carried by those who pilot large vehicles through the shared spaces of modern life.
