Bus driver ate THC gummies

A commercial bus driver who pulled over on a Connecticut highway and passed out with 38 passengers aboard after eating THC-infused gummies has been granted a probation programme that could result in criminal charges being dismissed. Jinhuan Chen, 59, through a Mandarin interpreter, told a judge that he didn’t know the gummies contained THC because he did not speak or read English. Chen was driving a Go Go Sun Tour bus in March 2022 when it started swerving on Interstate 95 in Stratford, terrifying the casino patrons aboard, police said. He managed to pull over and call 911 before passing out. State police found Chen unconscious and slumped in the driver's seat, with an open bag of the gummies next to him. He was taken to a hospital, where testing showed a high level of THC, police said. The manager of Boston-based Go Go Sun Tour, Victor Chen, said Jinhuan Chen had an exemplary 10-year driving record and didn’t drink alcohol or smoke, but had a sweet tooth.
