James Davenport swapped a series of cryptic text messages with Lacey Victoria Easterly moments before the bus swerved across traffic and broadsided another bus. Davenport recently died due to what authorities believe were natural causes. While the specific nature of the conversation hasn’t been determined, authorities find it moot, as the results were the same: three people dead.

Concerned that the only ears that would hear a child in distress are a cow’s, Connecticut parents have asked that the local school district revise is bus stop policy to make them safer. For the rural parts of the state, where houses are spread out, children are dropped off to make long treks home along country roads without the benefit of sidewalks. A number of parents have brought this hazard to attention of school administrators; however, a plan to accommodate both students and parents in this situation has not been finalized.
