Bus driver gets probation in fatal crash


AURORA | A bus driver from Aurora charged in a fatal crash last spring at a Denver intersection was sentenced to probation Thursday, Channel 7 is reporting.

Tideneykiyalesh Hawariyat, 30, pleaded guilty in November to two counts of careless driving resulting in death and one count of careless driving resulting in injury.

Under terms of her plea, she faced up to three years of probation, which a judge sentenced her to Thursday.


In addition to probation, Hawariyat was given a one-year suspended jail sentence on the condition she completes probation, performs 250 hours of community service, pays a $450 fine and additional fees and court costs and relinquishes her driver’s license for three years, Channel 7 reported.


Prosecutors say on April 3, Hawariyat, a driver for Veolia Transportation, failed to stop at a red light at Eighth and Lincoln, colliding with two vehicles. Two people were killed, 10 bus passengers were injured, and one passenger in a second vehicle was injured, prosecutors said.
