Hailing from Prospect Heights, Figueroa is now charged with two felony counts for knowingly driving with a revoked license, leading to serious injury.

Figueroa appeared in court for the first time on Tuesday. According to Green Bay’s ABC7 affiliate, he was released after posting a $5,000 bond following his formal charges.

The bus was carrying 54 passengers, and the tally of those injured in the crash has escalated to 41, with two individuals previously reported in critical condition, as per Green Bay police.

During the court proceedings, one injured passenger joined via video call from a hospital bed, expressing their distress by stating, “He messed up my life.”

Video obtained by ABC affiliate WBAY shows the charter bus speeding across four lanes of traffic before it went over an embankment and ultimately stopped between two warehouses off North Webster Avenue, near Interstate 43.

“It’s like seeing a plane crash in front of you,” said witness Scott Miller. “The bus literally went 120, 125 yards after it impacted the curb.”

Video from witness Miller’s dashcam was captured just as he approached the intersection. He says he was seconds away from being in the path of the bus.

“Thank goodness I wasn’t about six seconds sooner. Things wouldn’t have been good,” Miller said.

Figueroa was arrested on the night of the crash.

Court documents revealed Figueroa’s license was revoked and that he admitted on body camera that he did not have a valid license. He told officers that as he was taking the exit ramp, his brakes failed and he lost air. He said the emergency brakes also failed.

The complaint says Figueroa passed a field sobriety test and agreed to a breath test that came back “zero.” The court also ordered Figueroa not to drive without a valid license.

If convicted on all counts, Figueroa faces a potential maximum sentence of seven years behind bars. He is due back in court on April 1.
