Virginia, Other States Pay Price for New York’s Lax CDL Law

Late last month, a bus driver plowed into a line of stopped cars on Interstate 95 in Virginia, killing a family of four traveling to a wedding in South Carolina. Massachusetts residents Dmitri and Ecaterina Doncev and their two children, ages 13 and 7, were killed alongside fellow Bay Stater Priscilla Mafalda. Forty-four others were injured.

Driver Jing Dong, a resident of New York, was arrested and charged with three counts of involuntary manslaughter and one count of reckless driving.

The obvious question followed: How did this happen?

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy believes he knows the answer. According to Duffy, Dong should never have been issued a commercial driver’s license in the first place because he could not speak English.

Dong, a Chinese immigrant who later became a U.S. citizen, obtained a New York CDL in 2024 despite lacking basic English proficiency.

Duffy called the whole affair “unacceptable” in a post on X, adding, “If you can’t be properly trained, read our road signs, or communicate with law enforcement, you have no business driving a bus.”
