Bus Crash in Brooksville, Power Outages & School Camera Criticism

0:00Here's more Tampa Bay news for March 1st. A bus crashed into several power poles in Brooksville, Florida on Saturday morning. It happened just after 11 a.m. on Howell Avenue near Highland Street. Firefighters from Hernando County Fire Rescue arrived quickly to the scene. The crash involved only one vehicle, and the driver was the sole occupant with no injuries reported. Crews from Duke Energy rushed in to handle the damaged poles and start repairs right away. Fire outages hit nearby homes and businesses as a result, leaving folks in the dark for a while. Officials say restoration efforts are underway, but no word yet on when full service will return. Shifting to another local issue, a Hillsborough County Magistrate is speaking out against forward a school speed zone camera program. He handled dozens of cases over months and calls it a ripoff for drivers. This judge says the cameras are controversial and unfair, urging a closer look at how they ticket people. The debate continues as more tickets roll in across the state.
