She said the bus did not stop while the woman was vomiting and the driver didn’t check on the woman. She said the driver of the bus eventually pulled over to wait on an ambulance, but it was too late.“So I checked her pulse and I did not find a pulse in both of her hands or her neck and I was like, ‘This woman just died,’” Debruhl told KFOX14.Debruhl said the bus stopped in Bowie, AZ to wait for an ambulance to help the woman. Tuesday, a police dispatcher in Wilcox, AZ confirmed that officers handled the case of a woman who died on a chartered bus in Bowie, AZ, but declined to give details.KFOX14 tried calling El Paso Los Angeles Limousine, but no one returned the station’s telephone calls.KFOX14 also contacted the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, and a spokesman, Duane DeBruyne, said that interstate bus drivers do not have to have to be certified in CPR nor does the bus have to be equipped with first aid kits.
