SEATTLE – The family of a man killed in Enumclaw by a Metro bus is outraged at news that the bus driver has an extensive record with the county.

Bus driver Sandie Olosky was fired twice before involved in the accident that killed a young Enumclaw man.

Thirty-five-year-old Sandie Olosky was fired twice before the deadly accident.

"We feel terrible about the accident. Our hearts go out to the family, there's no question about that," said Kevin Desmond, General Manager, Metro Transit Authority.

Desmond offers his condolences to the family of 21-year-old Michael Dahlquist, killed last month when a Metro bus driver slammed into his truck in Enumclaw.

Witnesses say the bus driver was speeding at the time.

This was the first time Olosky was involved in a fatal accident, but it is only the beginning of a thick pile of complaints.

Since 1997, Olosky has had 26 complaints for careless driving, 28 for discourteous conduct, and six for speeding.

In that time she has also been involved in five accidents – one she was deemed responsible.

Authorities are still investigating whether she's at fault for the crash that killed Dahlquist.

"I can't really say whether she should be on the road or not," said Desmond.

It is apparent, however, that in years past Metro Transit has been very active in trying to get Olosky off the road.

In 1997 she was fired for gross negligence and misconduct.

Eight years later, she was fired again for detaining two passengers and stopping a bus on the West Seattle Bridge.

Both times, Olosky filed grievances and was rehired.

"She has rights under our labor contract and we have to follow a variety of different steps," said Desmond.

Dalhquist's mother told KING 5 News that she is angry to learn of Olosky's record. This Memorial Day she will put up a sign at the crash sight in memory of her son.

Olosky is currently on paid administrative leave while Metro Transit conducts its investigation.
