NEW POLICY IN MINUTES. >> HANDS FREE ZONES DISTRACTED DRIVING LOTLE ARE LAWS ARE GETTI
STRICTER.
FLORIDA DRIVERS COULDN’T TOUCH
THEIR PHONE WHILE DRIVING
THROUGH A SCHOOL.
>> A BUS IS OVERTURNED ON I-4
BLOCKING TRAFFIC RIGHT NOW.
WE’RE LOOKING AT LIVE PICTURES
FROM THE DOT CAMERA SHOWING THIS
CRASH.
IT’S AT I-4 WEST, RIGHT NEAR
ORANGE BLOSSOM TRAIL.
AND NEWS 6 6 IS LIVE WITH US OVE
THE PHONE.
SHE HAPPENED TO BE ON A RIDE
ALONG WITH I BELIEVE THE ORANGE
COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE, NA
DEEN, WHAT CAN YOU TELL US FROM
THE GROUND.
>> Reporter: YEAH KIRSTEN.
WE WERE WITH A DEPUTY IN AN
UNMARKED DEPUTY WORKING ABOUT
THE STORY ABOUT THE HAND FREE
TEXTING BILL THAT GOES INTO
EFFECT TODAY.
THE DEPUTY IS SOMETHING IS GOING
TO HERE.
AND WE’RE LIKE WHAT, WE COULDN’T
REALLY SEE BECAUSE TRAFFIC WAS
BUSY AND THEN IT PARTED.
THERE’S AN ENTIRE BUS ON ITS
SIDE.
AND AS WE PULLED UP OUR DEPUTY
WAS THE FIRST ONE ON SEEN.
HE ADVISED OPD, THEIR JURIES
TICKS OF THE CRASH, BUT
OBVIOUSLY, RAN TO START SAVING
THESE PEOPLE WHO ARE CRAWLING
OUT OF THIS LINK BUS FROM THE
FRONT WINDSHIELD WHICH IS
SHATTERED OUT AND THE BACK,
THERE’S A WINDOW ON TOP OF THE
ROOF OF THE BUS CRAWLING OUT OF
THAT.
I COUNTED 8 PASSENGERS, ALL OF
THEM GOT OUT OKAY, THE BUS
DRIVER SEEMS TO BE THE MOST
SHAKEN UP, AND INJURED, BUT HE
IS BEING CHECKED OUT AS WE SPEAK
NOW.
AND THERE’S ALSO ANOTHER WORKER,
WHO WAS ON HIS WAY TO THE ORANGE
COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE, HE HAD
A BADGE.
AT FIRST I HE THOUGHT IT WAS LAW
ENFORCEMENT.
NOT ORANGE COUNTY SHERIFF’S
OFFICE, BUT CONVENTION CENTER.
HE WAS ON HIS WAY, MOST LIKELY
WORKING SECURITY THERE.
EVERYONE SHAKEN UP.
I COUNTED 8 PASSENGERS.
NOTHING OFFICIAL, THIS IS ALL
FROM US BEING THE FIRST ON SCENE
WITH THE OFF-DUTILY DEPUTY
WORKING ON ANOTHER STORY WHEN WE
ROLLED UP ON THIS.
OBVIOUSLY, WE WILL KEEP WORKING
ON GATHERING WHAT WE CAN,
THERE’S NOBODY ELSE HERE OTHER
THAN DOZENS OF POLICE CARS NOW
AND AMBULANCES AND FIRE TRUCKS.
SO WE WILL TOSS IT BACK TO YOU
WHILE WE KEEP GATHERING.
>> AND WE ARE LOOKING AT LIVE
DOT FOOTAGE RIGHT NOW SHOWING
THIS SEMI ON THE LINKS BUS ON
ITS SIDE, IS THERE ANY
INDICATION THAT IT HIT ANY OTHER
CARS?
>> Reporter: WELL, A FEW CARS
BEHIND US, THERE WAS LIKE A
LITTLE SEMI THAT WAS HAD A LIKE
A LITTLE ACCIDENT AND THAT IS
WHAT WE 1st THOUGHT IT WAS,
LIKE A LITTLE, BUT, I DON’T SEE
ANY OTHER CARS RIGHT HERE.
IT MUST HAVE BEEN LIKE A FENDER
BENDER RIGHT THERE.
THE BUS DRIVER I ASKED HIM A
CUP.
WEEKS, HE SAID HE FELT A LITTLE
WIGGLE.
I DON’T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.
BEFORE THEY KNEW IT OBVIOUSLY
THIS BUS WAS ON ITS SIDE.
AND JUST ON ADD TO IT.
THERE WERE SDL WORKERS
CONSTRUCTION WORKERS ON SITE
HERE.
CONSTRUCTION IS -- 8 PASSENGERS
WERE OUT, THE LAST THREE WERE
COMING OUT, BUT THE WAY THAT
PEOPLE HAVE COME THE WAY TO RUSH
TO HELP WAS AMAZING AND JUST TO
SEE WHAT LAW ENFORCE MANY DOES
ON A DIFFERENT STORY WITH A NEWS
CREW.
’ABANDONED EVERYTHING.
OBVIOUSLY AN INCREDIBLE AND
SHAKEN UP MOVEMENT ON I-4
WESTBOUND.
>> Justin: ONE MORE THING, THESE
ARE THE WESTBOUND LANES OF I-4
NEAR OBT, IS THERE ANY
INDICATION THAT IT IS FULLY
BLOCKED, COMPLETELY BLOCKED OUT
THERE.
>> Reporter: YEAH,
ABSOLUTELY.
>> Justin: IS THERE A FEW CARS
GETTING THROUGH.
>> Reporter: NOBODY IS
GETTING THROUGH.
THIS LINK BUS IS ACROSS TWO OF
THE LANES, THE THIRD SLAIN ALL
BLOCKED OFF BY, I’M COUNTING 1,
2, 3, 4 FIRE TRUCKS, 3
AMBULANCES AND I WOULD SAY LIKE
10 POLICE CARS RIGHT NOW.
SO THIS SCENE IS GOING TO BE
SHUTDOWN FOR A WHILE.

>> Justin: NO DOUBT.
WE WILL CHECK IN WITH YOU AT I-4
AS THAT LINKS BLUES IS
