\u201cMakes me worry with my high schooler at his bus stop every morning going, \u2018I could just take you to school, but you need that independence,\u2019\u201d said Kimberly Natoli, a mom in Lehigh Acres.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Natoli explained this isn\u2019t the first time she\u2019s had issues with the company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy complaints have gone on six years with this company,\u201d said Natoli. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our crews have covered issues with this company before, once in 2016 and once in 2017. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alain Capucci posted a video to Facebook back in 2016. He said he remembers driving on Gateway Boulevard when he saw the van cutting off other cars and speeding.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Capucci said he had to hit the gas just to keep up with the van, claiming he saw the driver doing at least 50 mph in a 35 mph zone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cThere are a lot of video evidence out there of them going 80 mph in a 55 zone where other cars can\u2019t even keep up,\u201d Natoli added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are still working to figure out if anyone was injured in this most recent crash.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the meantime, Natoli\u2019s message to parents is to report this reckless driving when you see it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe better business bureau doesn\u2019t know anything\u2019s wrong, they can\u2019t have any penalties there,\u201d Natoli said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now parents want the company to put speed trackers in the vans to keep an eye on how fast those drivers are going. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
