The
official identified the driver as Shanna S. Shaw. A person who picked up
at a phone number listed for Shaw identified himself as a relative and
said that Shaw was not available to speak, but was fine and recovering
from the crash.
According
to records from the Registry of Motor Vehicles, Shaw was involved in a
crash in her personal vehicle in Dorchester in April and was found more
than 50 percent at fault. She was also found at fault in crashes in 2003
and 1994. Between 1994 and 2008, Shaw incurred citations for speeding,
two seat-belt violations, failure to stop, and improper passing.
An official who was not authorized to speak
publicly about the incident said that the driver had a cellphone in her
possession at the time of the crash, a violation of T rules that ban
operators of buses, trolleys, and subway cars from having a cellphone
with them while on duty.

Channel 5 releases Joe Sacco's name, yet MBTA "Atty" Ciollo swings wild accusations at the victim to deny US, the public paying the MBTA, the same rights regarding Driver #73274 that the public had in regards to the driver killed on that same February 2020 weekend in Quincy (RIP, tragic story, but a story about the public in danger as well.)
An MBTA bus driver who was killed in an accident at the Quincy Center Station busway Saturday has been identified as Sanyi Harris, 45, of Brockton, by the Norfolk County District Attorney’s Office. https://www.boston.com/news/local-news/2020/02/10/mbta-bus-driver-killed-identified-sanyi-harris_________________________________________________________
Former Medford reporter Travis Andersen writes in March of 2019:
Prosecutor details alleged Transit Police beating of homeless man, coverup
MBTA
Transit Police Officer Dorston Bartlett beat a homeless man on a train
at Ashmont Station last July with “unnecessary, unreasonable, and
unjustified” force, and two of Bartlett’s superiors tried to cover it
up, a prosecutor alleged Tuesday.
The
allegations came during the Suffolk Superior Court arraignment of
Bartlett, 65, of Lynn, who has since retired, and two Transit Police
sergeants, David Finnerty, 43, of Rutland, and Kenny Orcel, 55, of
Chelmsford.

The bus driver thought he
found a loophole in the MBTA's new ban on operators using cellphones: He
did not bring a cellphone to the job, which is now banned, and he did
not talk on one while driving.
