MEAD, Wash.- Four months after a deadly collision that claimed the life of a 20-year-old woman, questions remain about how the tragedy occurred and why the school bus driver has not faced charges. Eva Marie Allen was struck and killed by a Mead School District bus while crossing Hastings Road at West Bellwood Drive on the evening of January 5. Allen, a student at Spokane Community College who was on the autism spectrum, had celebrated her 20th birthday just one day before the fatal collision.
