Newspaper: Driver in fatal school bus crash involved in earlier crash that killed 2-year-old girl

Shocking new details from reporter Carl Hessler Jr. of The Pottstown Mercury:

A Montgomery County bus driver involved in a crash on Wednesday that killed a Gilbertsville man riding in another car is the same man who was involved in a 1999 Bucks County crash that left a 2-year-old girl dead, according to sources.

Frederick Poust III, 38, of Schwenksville, who was driving a 2005 Blue Bird school bus that was involved in a 7:26 a.m. crash on Route 73 that killed 27-year-old Richard Taylor, was involved in a November 1999 crash in Hilltown, allegedly running a stop sign while talking on a cell phone, that killed toddler Morgan Lee Pena, according to law enforcement sources who didn't want to be identified.

Hessler will have a full story on the revelations about Poust in Friday's edition of The Mercury. Meanwhile, watch a video from the crash site and read about the fatal school bus crash at the newspaper's Web site.
