Arrest Made After Green Bay Casino-Bound Bus Crash That Injured 33

The case now centers on whether the driver was legally allowed to operate the bus.

Overview

  • The charter bus, which crashed Sunday after exiting northbound I-43 onto North Webster Avenue, crossed the road, went over an embankment, and came to rest between warehouses with 54 people aboard.
  • Police report 33 people were injured, including two in critical condition, in what responders described as a mass-casualty scene that drew help from nearby departments.
  • A 37-year-old man was arrested and booked into the Brown County Jail with pending charges that include operating while revoked causing great bodily harm.
  • Investigators say the cause remains under review as the Wisconsin State Patrol inspected the bus for possible mechanical defects.
  • Officials identified the operator as Lucky Charters and Tours, while local reporting named the arrestee as Ghebry Figueroa and cited records showing no interstate operating authority and a long-suspended Illinois license, which could spur closer scrutiny of private charter compliance.
