The N.C. State Highway Patrol is asking the public to help identify a motorcyclist who passed a stopped school bus with its warning lights activated and the stop arm activated while students were boarding on Wednesday morning.

The incident occurred about 7:33 a.m. on Wednesday on Hoover Road at Marthas Vineyard Drive in Iredell County, troopers said in a news release. The motorcyclist passed the school bus and continued north.

According to the NCSHP, a person of interest has been identified. The driver was operating what appeared to be a TaoTao or Kayo 200cc dirt bike. The driver was wearing a black helmet with the word “FLY” on it, a red puffer jacket, camouflaged pants, white Air Force 1 Nike shoes, and a black backpack.

Troopers released photos from the bus cameras on Thursday. Anyone who recognizes the person of interest is urged to contact the N.C. State Highway Patrol at 828-466-5500. The investigation is ongoing.
