Bus driver Jean Fenelon charged in connection with crash that killed Brandeis University student Vanessa Mark
WALTHAM - A shuttle bus driver has been charged in connection with a crash that killed a Brandeis University student in Waltham last year.
Police said Jean Fenelon was speeding in November 2022, going 52 miles per hour in a 30 miles per hour zone on South Street before crashing and hitting two trees. Thirty people were on the shuttle at the time, coming back from a hockey game at Northeastern University.
Vanessa Mark, 24, was killed in the crash. Her parents have since filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Fenelon and the bus company.
On Friday in court, a judge released Fenelon without bond, ordering him not to drive without a license and banning him from contating any witnesses in the case.
