The crash involved seven vehicles in total, counting Dong\u2019s coach bus, which was carrying 34 passengers from New York City to Charlotte, North Carolina.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s expected to make his first appearances in Stafford County General District Court and Stafford Circuit Court Wednesday morning, according to Stafford County commonwealth\u2019s attorney and police. A judge is set to schedule Dong\u2019s arraignment, where the driver would enter a plea.<\/p>\n<p>All of the people who were killed were from Massachusetts. Four people were inside an Acura that caught fire: Dmitri Doncev, 45, a nurse who worked at Holyoke Medical Center; Ecaterina Doncev, 44; and their children, Emily and Mark.<\/p>\n<p>Priscilla Mafalda, 25, was also killed when the bus struck her Suburban.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The bus driven by Dong is operated by a E&amp;P Travel, a company based in Kings Mountain, about 30 miles west of Charlotte. Records from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration show one crash involving an injury with an E&amp;P vehicle in the past two years.<\/p>\n<p>Dong is also facing charges of speeding while driving a coach bus in Annapolis, Maryland, for another incident that allegedly happened on March 9. Police said he was driving 72 mph in a 50 mph zone on Route 3.<\/p>\n<p>WTOP\u2019s Neal Augenstein and Thomas Robertson contributed to this report.<\/p>\n<p class=\"single-page__signature bottom\">Get breaking news and daily headlines delivered to your email inbox by signing up <a href=\"https:\/\/wtop.com\/newsletter-signup\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"single-page__signature bottom\">\u00a9 2026 WTOP.
