Nicolas Luis Rodriguez, the man whose poor driving on Interstate 10 caused a school bus from Kingman, Arizona, to roll onto its side, resulting in dozens of injuries, was sentenced to six years in prison Monday.
Rodriguez was also ordered to pay $172,000 in restitution.
The school bus was carrying 40 students, teachers and staff from two high schools on April 1 of last year.
The bus was en route to Tucson on Interstate 10, near the Tangerine Road Exit when the crash happened.
An Arizona Department of Public Safety report said a silver Volvo driven by Rodriguez, suddenly moved to the No. 3 lane, hitting the bus.
The bus lost control, eventually reaching the median and tipping over.
Injuries to the children ranged from loss of fingers, to broken bones, to severe lacerations.
