LAKEWOOD — A driver who drove a school bus onto a sidewalk on Thursday when he got caught in traffic has been issued two summones, police say.
Video first posted by TLS showed the bus, which police say has students on board, driving around a minivan parked on the side of Williams Street in Lakewood when oncoming traffic prevented him from moving forward.
Police did not say what school the students attended and the bus served.
Lakewood police identified the driver of the bus as Yaakov Stern, 41, of Lakewood, a driver for Jay’s Bus Servce. He was issued summons for driving on the sidewalk as well as reckless driving.
Annie, a woman who answered the phone at Jay’s Bus Service, said she was unaware of the video, and watched the video with a reporter on the phone.
“Whoa,” said Annie as she watched the video.
Because the name of the bus company was not clear on the side of the bus in the video, Annie said she did not believe it was from Jay’s.
Stern is expected in court later this month.

How stupid!
Teaching the little black hats how to drive in Lakewood….
Oy vey! The everyday occurrences in Lakewood!
He should lose his license and be charged with a case of child endangerment for each kid on that bus at the time it happened.
Lawless Lakewood….
Why am I not at all surprised?
Ashlyn Rocha I gee I wonder if they were Jewish…
Lakewood the worst place on earth
Lawlesswood should be the next name. BTS outta these A$$#@le bus drivers whether Jewish or otherwise, no excuse for that behavior!
Wild Wild West out there.
They should just take traffic cops out of lakewood and let the Demolition Derby of the century finally happen
Itll be thrown out in court so whats the point of wasting time.
Stacey Nichole my exact thoughts
He was promoted to driver trainer after video surfaced
The stuff I see Jay’s bus service doing is mind boggling ????
Nancy Turanicza not just them. There are also companies owned by the Orthodox community. But I’ve called into Jay’s and complained about a driver who decided to almost hit my car. Thankful for my quick reflexes, or she would have killed me and my son, just to switch a lane. No blinker, there was just suddenly A BUS coming towards my passenger side mirror. Person I spoke to from the company was given the license plate info that I was able to get, and stated strict actions would be done. But given their track record, I highly doubt anything was done.
WAIT! Are you telling me that a jew decided not to follow basic traffic laws in jew-ville? Say it ain’t so! How could this be possible? They are always so polite and caring about everyone around them! ????????
I wonder f it will have to be paid?
This is just one of many,many, many things that goes on in Lakewood accidents every hour ,running red lights,cutting you off it’s like they feel they are the only ones on the road I think once they bang up the car they donate them to that kids program and they pick up a better car in the same place on Swarthmore Ave
Rosario Cannizzaro IT’S JAY’S BUS SERVICE IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT TOWN THEY’RE IN THEY ARE THE WORSE DRIVERS.
I bet he’ll scream racism like a typical scumbag
A summons? What a joke. He should be stoned in the center of town next to the Christmas tree!
Trisha Rose Stevens-Katz bet he was on his phone to lol
And cue the anti Semitic statements…. cuz folks are too dumb to know hacidics are one facet of judeism
Scott A Barnes Ignorance is bliss for many sadly.
I’m sure everyone knows the difference
Rayna D’Aniello YES RAINA YOU’RE IGNORANT AS HE’S RIGHT!

Paty Prahl Jay’s Bus SERVICE definitely does Every feeling time a bus is involved in something stupid itd that company
The Jewish “inbred” community degrades and devalues property, scams taxes, issues licenses to anyone, they are manipulating and nasty humans. they don’t respect anyone except their own kind.
Lakewood needs to be blown off the map
Dawn Higgins
I swear any posts about Lakewood on here are just to bring out the anti-Semites.
Sandra Petroni Antonellis or.. to expose the truth and lawlessness that’s taking over the county!!!!
Sandra Petroni Antonellis So if your kid was on that bus that wouldn’t bother you?? that bus driver put all those kids lives in danger as well as everybody else on the road and this happens on a daily basis more than once a day in Lakewood
Sandra try going to Lakewood Scoop and tell me all the shit drivers you see on that page are okay with you. Make sure you watch the driver on the wrong side of a 4 lane highway coming head on in to traffic and the car getting the hell out of it’s way. If you think we pick on these people, maybe you should just try driving there one day
Sandra Petroni Antonellis TRUE. YET THEY DRIVE THE STATE AND COUNTY TODAY THAT RUN THROUGH LAKEWOOD THEN BITCH AND BLAME EVERYONE ELSE
Dawn Higgins BTW NOT EVERYTHING THEY POST HAPPENS IN LAKEWOOD. IF COURSE YOUR TO LAZY TO READ! FIGURE TYPICAL BENNY! BTW THEN STAY OF ALL STATE ROADS THAT RUN THROUGH LAKEWOOD! TAKE THE TURNOUT THE AS THAT DOESN’T RUN THROUGH LAKEWOOD
Sandra Petroni Antonellis so you’re cool with endangering children ?
Beth Lane Have ever thought of proof reading your comments, and please take the cap lock off ????????♂️
Sandra Petroni Antonellis I don’t care if it was the Virgin Mary driving, if you are responsible for the safety of kids and are deliberately putting them in danger, you are a jackass. Christian, Jew, Muslim, Sikh, Hindu, doesn’t matter.
Sandra Petroni Antonellis WOW GET YOUR HEADOUT OF YOUR ASS
Summons don’t exist in Lakewood!????????????
Lisa Perosi-Morelli WRONG BENNY
Beth Lane ???????????? careful before someone drops a house on you too!
Beth Lane oh and…I’m not wrong
Oh he prob thought he was exempt from rules and laws just like the rest of Lakewood . ????????♀️
Toni Barroqueiro BTW GOOD LUCK IN TOM’S RIVER.
Who????? ????
Tickets will most definitely be thrown out.
Try looking at the site on here called Lakewood Scoop. You can’t believe the shit that goes on day after day. You don’t need tv for entertainment, just go to this page. SMH
State is gonna offer him amnesty
How about endangering?
Jeff Vogt it was just a misunderstanding
Drew Chabot ☝????
Hey lakewood residents obey the freaking law u r not above them
He should’ve already been fired from the bus company and his driver license should be suspended. But, of course nothing will happen to him other than paying a small fine. We’ll be hearing his name in the news again at some point, when he causes a major accident with kids on the bus.
Holy s~~~~
Should get lic pulled idiot
Rules don’t apply”
hope he was fired also!
The Lakewood scoop ran a story about it. Guess before they knew the name of the driver. He seems to be getting a lot of support from his community. Surprised ?
Ask for permission before exposing the protected class to the masses about what they do?
LAKEWOOD! Isn’t safe to drive nor walk in that miserable town!
People drive on the sidewalk every day in lakewood. No one bats an eyelash. Finally they catch someone.
What a dip shit.
It was just a misunderstanding. Just keep on building.
Governor will give him a reprieve
Wow! Is this the 1st ticket of the year given to any driver in Lakewood?? Never happens.
What about child endangerment charges for every child that was on that bus???
With the horrible safety record of Jay’s Bus Service, why hasn’t the state stepped in and shut the company down? One of these days there’s going to be a major tragedy and I can only hope and pray the religious community this company serves will wake up to realize the equal importance of obeying secular law.
Veronica Hearney I was behind one of these buses going thru Lakewood and the kids were standing up, hanging their heads out the window, etc. just out of control….very scary
Veronica Hearney hate to break it to you, those families don’t care if a child dies, the collect the insurance and just have 5 more. Look at the child left in the car while BOTH PARENTS WHERE HOME
Nothing will happen nothing ever happens to them
Leah Wagner
Isn’t that how people drive in Lakewood?????????♀️
Christina Foggia-Dunn he won’t be punished.. should be child endangerment charges
Joanne Cooper Gallo Lakewood gets away with everything. I’m so ready to move out.
Christina Foggia-Dunn me too ????
Oye vey
Leilanie Marie Small memories?
Caitlin Marie a day in the life
Good, it’s about time, they all drive like shit
Probably safer on the sidewalk than on the streets in that town.
Wow
It was a mistake…
School bus drivers, some, not all, of the worst drivers on the roads. Pull his CDL, teach him a lesson.
I’m sure he knows a good lawyer……
OMG!!!
It is the scariest place to drive. On the side walk is nothing
Its f’n Lakewood ,what do you expect him to drive on the street?…
Lakewood ghetto
Oh a summons…….such hypocritical bullshit
I’m not shocked.. their all nuts!! No regard for other ppls safety on the road and always putting childrens safety at risk. You are only safe on Saturdays in lakewood & barely..if you dont work in lakewood and dont live in lakewood count your lucky stars! And Im not talking about the star of david! Lol
Nothing will happen
Justin Palmer nope. Will get dropped in court.
It was a misunderstanding ????????♀️
And nothing will happen
So he drives a bus like the rest of the cult in that town drive their cars. Might not want him back behind the wheel of one of them
Will this go to court? will it be taped?
Since a lot of people walk in the street, a bus on the sidewalk almost makes sense.
Linda Tate Gutman true
Lakewood traffic it’s just unbelievable
Just a summons how about take his license to drive children away? I worked in Lakewood and have been ran off the road twice by this bus service. They came at me both times on my side of the road to go around stopped traffic to get where they wanted to go because they do not want to wait while kids are standing up and hanging out of windows it’s crazy!
Daniel Vene
Maura Lee I’m surprised anything happened at all
Their allowed to drive where ever they have fishing line in town! ????
New holiday? Rushahoma?
He should lose his license
Well he won’t run over anyone because everyone in Lakewood walks on the roads….
Angela, after a few bottles of wine
How the heck did they get there drivers license from
It’s just a misunderstanding
What a Yaakov.
