One person shared a video with channel 11 that was recorded Thursday morning and shows a Jeep driving right up alongside and nearly passing a school bus that was stopped to pick up children.

"The stop signs activated the red lighted activated and a child could walk right in front of that bus and be injured," Frederick Kline from Allegheny Transportation Services said.

According to PennDOT, the driver of the Jeep should have stopped 10 feet behind the back of the bus, even though it was in a different lane.
