纽约西部一场致命旅游巴士撞车事故已过去六个多月，致5人死亡，检察官现已对巴士司机提起指控。
根据法庭文件，来自纽约法拉盛的邵斌（Bin Shao）被指控犯有二级过失杀人罪和过失杀人罪。据指控，邵斌驾驶的巴士从尼亚加拉大瀑布前往纽约市，在纽约州 Genesee 县的州际公路上高速行驶时失控，导致事故发生。
纽约州警方表示，这名来自皇后区的56岁司机于周四被捕，次日在法官面前出庭，对指控不认罪。
吉内西县地方检察官凯文·芬内尔（Kevin Finnell）周五在新闻发布会上表示：”没有证据表明司机饮酒过量。指控源于邵先生作为巴士操作员在纽约州州际公路彭布罗克段的行为和决策。”
当被记者问及是否可以讨论邵斌据称的不当行为细节时，芬内尔称：”我不能。”
警方称，M&Y旅游公司的巴士当时载有54人，其中许多人来自印度、中国和菲律宾。
遇难者身份已确认：印度籍65岁的尚卡尔·库马尔·贾（Shankar Kumar Jha）；新泽西州东不伦瑞克市60岁的平基·昌格拉尼（Pinki Changrani）；22岁、来自北京的哥伦比亚大学学生谢鸿卓（Xie Hongzhuo）；55岁的张小兰（Zhang Xiaolan）和56岁的简明丽（Jian Mingli），两人均来自泽西城。
此次撞车事故中还有数十人受伤。警方当时表示，事故原因正在调查中，但已排除机械故障和操作员受影响的可能。
邵斌的保释金为10万美元现金、20万美元保险债券和40万美元部分担保的 surety 债券。
根据在线法庭记录，他下次出庭日期定于3月9日。

More than six months after a deadly tour bus crash in western New York killed five people, prosecutors filed charges against the bus driver.
Bin Shao of Flushing, New York, has been charged with second-degree manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide, according to court documents. Shao is accused of driving the bus — which was traveling toward New York City from the Niagara Falls — at high speed when the vehicle lost control on the New York Thruway in Genesee County.
The 56-year-old driver from Queens was arrested on Thursday, according to New York State Police. He appeared before a judge the following day and pleaded not guilty to the charges.
“There’s no evidence of driver alcohol impairment,” said Genesee County District Attorney Kevin Finnell said Friday at a news conference. “The charges stem from the decisions made and the actions taken by Mr. Shao as the operator of the bus on the New York State Thruway in Pembroke.”

When asked by a reporter if he can discuss any details about what Shao allegedly did wrong, Finnell said: “I can’t.”
The M&Y Tour Inc. bus was carrying 54 people, many of Indian, Chinese and Filipino descent, according to police.
The victims were identified as Shankar Kumar Jha, 65, of India; Pinki Changrani, 60, of East Brunswick, New Jersey; Xie Hongzhuo, a 22-year-old Columbia University student from Beijing; Zhang Xiaolan, 55, and Jian Mingli, 56. Both Xiolan and Mingli were from Jersey City.
Dozens of people were also injured in the crash. Police said at the time the cause of the crash was under investigation, but a mechanical failure and operator impairment had been ruled out.
Bail for Shao was set at $100,000 cash, $200,000 insured bond and $400,000.00 for a partially secured surety bond.
His next court appearance is scheduled for March 9, according to online court records.
