Do you have to stop for a school bus in Florida?
In the first two weeks of school, approximately 11,500 Miami-Dade County drivers were cited after footage captured from 950 school district buses caught them disobeying traffic laws.
The cameras were authorized last year to add extra protections for students getting on and off buses during the school year. While laws already exist to ensure drivers who violate these laws are held accountable, the cameras were installed to reinforce the matter. The initiative is a collaboration between the local school district, the Miami-Dade Police Department and BusPatrol, a private company with programs in 17 states that manages the buses and the technology that captures the license plates of cars that illegally pass buses with deployed stop signals.
A woman has been hospitalized after she accelerated into the front window of a prom dress boutique in Aventura Thursday morning, police say.
The car crash happened just before 10 a.m. Thursday at the JDO Couture Dress Shop on Biscayne Blvd. The store regularly opens at 11 a.m. and no one was inside at the time of the crash. Security footage from a nearby store shows the woman, 63, attempting to park her white, four-door Audi before accelerating, smashing through the shop’s front window.
The woman was taken to Aventura Hospital for treatment. Additional information was not immediately available Friday. This incident remains under investigation.

The first woman was shot while the second had non-shooting-related injuries. The first woman was stable as of Wednesday, according to reporting from The Miami Herald. Both women were taken to the hospital by friends.
