Bus driver Kin Yiu Cheung admitted to falling asleep at the wheel. His trial on four counts of involuntary manslaughter is slated to begin Nov. 8. In the months following the crash Cheung's name was connected to a driving school scam that helped Chinatown tour bus drivers cheat on their exams.
Zhao Jian Chen, the dispatcher who Cheung says told him he would be fired if he didn't take the shift, is facing similar charges in October.
