Bus Driver In Miami Airport Crash Claims Innocence
MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — The driver in a deadly tour bus crash at Miami International Airport that happened almost a year ago, was arrested Wednesday and bonded out of jail early Thursday morning. Now he is coming out to say he's innocent.
Ramon Ferreiro, 48, told CBS4's news partner the Miami Herald Friday, "You never think an accident is going to happen, but it did."
Ferreiro said he is not a killer and declined to comment on advice of his attorneys.
The driver has been charged with three counts of felony vehicular homicide as well as reckless driving.
Ferreiro was driving a charter bus carrying 31 people en route to a Jehovah's Witness assembly last December. He crashed the nearly 12-foot-tall bus into an airport arrival entrance with a clearance of about 10 feet. One passenger in the upper section was killed and two others died later from injuries sustained in the crash.
