LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — A viral video from a driver’s dashcam shows a vehicle blowing past a deployed stop arm on a school bus as children are crossing the street.
The video was captured by driver Lee Collins off Jessup Road and Robindale Road.
“I couldn’t believe, even here in Vegas, this person just blasted right by. And I just sat there in disbelief. Thank God those kids didn’t get hit,” Collins said. The long-time Las Vegas Valley local had two children that graduated from Clark County Schools and graduated years ago; he and other residents said drivers are typically respectful of families around bus stops.

The video has more than 300,000 views on Reddit, Collins tells FOX5.
Henderson Police tell FOX5 they are investigating the incident and the driver in the video. If you spot a vehicle running a school bus stop arm, HPD tells citizens to call 311; if the driver poses a danger to pedestrians and children, call 911.
“That could very easily have been an accident, a kid getting hit and hurt, for sure. It’s unacceptable, really,” said parent Thomas Bane, who walks his child home from the bus stop.
Some families support an additional option that the Clark County School Distruct has yet to roll out: stop-arm cameras on buses.
CCSD sent FOX5 the following statement about the progress:
Student safety is one of the top priorities at the Clark County School District (CCSD). Everystudent deserves to be safe on their way to and from school.
That is why CCSD has been collaborating with our local cities, county, and law enforcement agencies throughout the school year to find the most effective ways to improve traffic safety throughout our community.
School bus stop-arm cameras maybe a part of our long-term safety efforts. We have paused the current award process for school bus stop-arm cameras to conduct necessary due diligence for the entire project. We are carefully examining operational and legal hurdles that have created concerns in other states. Our goal is to ensure that any program we implement is legally sustainable and focused solely on its intended purpose: changing driver behavior on the road to keep our students safe.
We are currently focusing on the School Traffic Safety Working Group report, scheduled for release in the coming weeks. The report will provide a community roadmap for action. We will collaborate with our community to evaluate the recommendations and implement improvements together.
In late February, the School Board of Trustees was set to vote on an award for a vendor to install and maintain stop-arm cameras on buses; Superintendent Jhone Ebert sent a previous statement on her withdrawal of the item:
“The Clark County School District has completed the initial phases of exploring this program, including a thorough procurement process for a vendor to operate the stop-arm cameras.
I am withdrawing this item from tonight’s agenda. As we have continued to evaluate the implementation models and the experiences of other jurisdictions across the country, several complex operational and administrative questions have emerged. ”
FOX5 previously reported on CCSD’s preparations for a rollout of stop-arm cameras on buses.
FOX5 also reported on previous concerns surrounding a future rollout: The ACLU sent the Board of Trustees a letter citing concerns over the projected revenue and privacy issues from cameras.
Competing vendor Bus Patrol raised concerns surrounding enforcement by CCSD Police, filing an appeal of the vendor award.
