AMES, Iowa (AP) - Police have arrested a bus driver in connection with a hit-and-run crash that killed an Iowa State University student.
Ames police investigations commander Jason Tuttle says a CyRide bus struck 18-year-old student Emmalee Jacobs on Dec. 14 near the ISU campus. The investigation was aided by a CyRide supervisor’s discovery of a video recorded on the bus believed to have hit Jacobs.
Jacobs was found early that morning at an intersection and died later at a hospital.
Police Wednesday charged 23-year-old bus driver Benjamin D. Clague with leaving the scene of an accident resulting in a death and failure to obey a traffic control device. Online court records didn’t indicate whether Clague has a lawyer who can comment on the charges.
He’s being held in the Story County Jail.
