A Glenolden man is charged with reckless endangerment after his vehicle struck a school bus loaded with children, then left the scene, Prospect Park police said.

A Southeast Delco School District bus with 12 children on board was struck by a vehicle shortly before 12:30 a.m. Friday at 10th and Lincoln avenues.

None of the children or the bus driver were injured. The driver of the stricken vehicle stopped momentarily to pick up pieces of his truck that were on the roadway and then fled the scene, Police Chief Dave Madonna said.

The bus driver told police that the driver of a dark-colored truck initially stopped about a block away from the collision, got out of the truck, collected the damaged items from his vehicle and drove away.

William Meo, 45, was charged with recklessly endangering another person, failure to stop at an accident and fail to give information, reckless driving, careless driving, driving without a license and accidents involving involves material damage.According to the probable cause affidavit filed by Prospect Park Officer Michael Slowik:

Officers arrived and spoke with the bus driver, who said the bus was southbound on Lincoln when a dark-colored work truck heading north struck the driver’s side mirror.

The bus’ mirror was shown to have significant damage and was hit so hard that the mirror itself shattered the driver’s side window of the bus, police said.

As part of their investigation, police reviewed local security footage, which showed a dark-colored Ford truck hitting the school bus.

The video also shows the driver getting out, running to the scene of the collision, picking up pieces of his truck and then leaving the area. The operator can be seen wearing a sweatshirt of a particular business along with a company phone number.

Police called the company, which identified the driver as Meo. Police also learned that Meo is currently on parole.

After finding a correct address, police and parole officers went to his apartment on Chester Pike and spoke with him. Police said Meo, without prompting, said he didn’t know he hit anything and didn’t have a license.

Meo was taken into custody. He was found to have a suspended driver’s license for driving under the influence.

Meo was taken into custody at the request of state police on a parole violation. He was arraigned before District Judge Michael F. Culp, who set bail at 10 percent of $50,000, which Meo was unable to post, and taken to the Delaware County Jail.

He is scheduled for a preliminary hearing Nov. 4 in Judge Mary Hopper’s courtroom.

Madonna credited Slowik and Officer David Voorhees for their work in the investigation.

“Fortunately, no children or the driver were injured,” Madonna said.
