STATESVILLE, N.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — A man is wanted by N.C. State Highway Patrol after being accused of passing a stopped school bus on a motorcycle in Iredell County.
Troopers say the incident occurred at 3:56 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 18, on Wallace Springs Road at Cara Lane. That’s when a motorcyclist traveling north on Wallace Springs reportedly passed a bus with its warning lights activated and stop-arm extended as children were getting off the bus. The motorcyclist almost struck the children and continued north.
A person of interest has been identified. The white male driver was operating what appeared to be a Kawasaki Ninja-style motorcycle. The driver was wearing a dark green and gray helmet with no face shield, khaki pants and a black sweatshirt.
Anyone who recognizes the person of interest should contact the Highway Patrol at 828-466-5500 or star-47. The investigation is ongoing.
Two similar incidents have occurred in Iredell County in recent years. Last January, a motorcyclist nearly struck a child attempting to cross the road. And in March 2023, a Statesville man was arrested for nearly hitting two kids on Old Mountain Road.
