(DC News Now) -- A National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) report released Thursday said that the charter bus that caused a crash that killed five people on Interstate 95 in May failed to slow down for traffic caused by a work zone. According to the preliminary report, the NTSB said that the bus, which had the driver, Jing Sheng Dong of Staten Island, NY, and 24 passengers, was driving to Charlotte, NC, from New York City. The bus was driving south along I-95 when it encountered a line of traffic due to a short-term work zone for overnight pavement resurfacing. The NTSB said that the bus did not slow down for the traffic and crashed into a Chevrolet Suburban and an Acura MDX at the back of the traffic. The NTSB said that the bus continued for around 0.44 miles, involving eight other cars in the crash before it came to a stop in the median between the southbound and express lanes. The Acura caught on fire after the crash. All four people inside -- a 45-year-old man, a 44-year-old woman, a 13-year-old girl and a 7-year-old boy -- died. One person in the Chevrolet, a 25-year-old woman, also died. Others involved in the crash were also injured, with injuries ranging from minor to serious. Dong is facing five charges of involuntary manslaughter and one dismeanor charge of reckless driving.
