A Christchurch bus driver who ran a red light and crashed into a car, killing a female passenger, has today been sentenced to 200 hours of community work for his fatal "moment of inattention". Judge MacAskill sentenced Taylor to 200 hours of community work. Lindsay John Taylor, 62, was driving a Red Bus with fare-paying passengers on Christchurch's Kilmore St at about 8pm on October 4 last year. But it had turned red and as Taylor illegally drove through, the bus ploughed into a car. The driver, her flatmate, was hospitalised for six days with broken ribs, a punctured lung, and severe bruising.
