Party Bus Not-Licenced in Death of Woman Passenger

NORFOLK, Va. (AP) - Virginia officials say a party bus was operating without proper permits when a woman fell out of it last year and died.

The Virginian-Pilot reports that the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles says the bus that Kisha Marrow-Lott fell out of during a bachelorette party was not "a legal passenger carrier." Unauthorized operators are common in the party bus and limo industry.

State police say the bus was entering an interstate when Marrow-Lott fell from the bus. She died at the scene.

The 37-year-old was a mother of two teenagers. Prosecutors called Marrow-Lott's death an accident and have not pursued criminal charges.
