Virginia
Mass. family, Worcester woman identified as victims in deadly Virginia bus crash
Local News
The victims included a Greenfield couple and their two children, as well as a 25-year-old Worcester woman.
Four members of a Greenfield family and a Worcester woman have been identified as the five Massachusetts residents killed in a fiery charter bus crash on a Virginia highway this week.
Virginia State Police identified the victims as Dmitri Doncev, 45; Ecaterina Doncev, 44; Emily Doncev, 13; and Mark Doncev, 7, all of Greenfield, along with 25-year-old Priscilla R. Mafalda of Worcester.
The crash happened on Thursday on Interstate 81 near Lexington, Virginia, when a charter bus traveling from New York City to Charlotte, North Carolina, struck several vehicles as traffic slowed for roadwork. In addition to the five people killed, 34 others were injured and taken to local hospitals, according to authorities.
Investigators said the bus failed to slow down and slammed into a Chevrolet Suburban driven by Mafalda. The impact pushed the SUV into the Doncev family’s Acura, which caught fire.
Dmitri, a nurse at Holyoke Medical Center, was driving his family through the night to attend a wedding in South Carolina when the crash occurred, according to the Boston Globe.
Dmitri’s 27-year-old niece, Carolina Bublik, shared the family’s grief with the Globe, saying the Doncevs would join extended family at church every Sunday.
“Now it’s going to be very difficult, the next Sunday that comes around, where we will not be able to have them sit next to us at the lunch table,” said Bublik.
The Doncevs were members of the Providence Christian Academy community, where Emily and Mark attended school.
“The Doncev family was a cherished part of our school community, and their loss is being felt deeply by our students, families, faculty, and staff,” the school said in a statement.
A family friend started a GoFundMe to raise money for the family’s funeral expenses.
Few details were immediately available about Mafalda.
Police have charged the bus driver, Jing S. Dong, 48, with two counts of involuntary manslaughter, and authorities said additional charges are pending.
A Staten Island, New York, resident, Dong obtained his commercial driver’s license in 2024, according to Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy.

West Virginia teenager says she was sexually harassed by trans peer in locker room | Fox News Video
‘Fox & Friends Weekend’ co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy discusses the controversy over the alleged sexual harassment of a West Virginia teen in a locker room and the Supreme Court’s recent ruling on transgender athletes on ‘The Big Weekend Show.’
West Virginia teen Adaleia Cross shares her shocking claims of alleged sexual harassment by a trans athlete in a locker room, leading to severe backlash from her teacher and friends. The incident comes amid a recent Supreme Court ruling upholding state laws that require student athletes to compete based on biological sex. Rachel Campos-Duffy, a ‘Fox & Friends Weekend’ co-host, discusses the profound impact on female athletes and societal implications.
4 things to know about the weather:
- A much more comfortable day is ahead with highs only in the lower to middle 80s across the DMV.
- Most of the day will be dry, but a few spotty showers or thunderstorms could pop up during the afternoon.
- Humidity will be a tad lower than recent days thanks to an easterly breeze and slightly drier air moving into the region.
- Monday looks even better with comfortable temperatures, lower humidity before hotter weather returns later in the week.
A welcome change is finally settling into the DMV. Sunday won’t be perfect with some clouds around and the chance for some showers, but most areas should stay dry. Cooler temps than we’ve been used to lately, with afternoon highs staying in the 80s.
Great days to start the week as Monday and Tuesday are shaping up to be comfortably warm with noticeably lower humidity (thank goodness) bonus days for summer. Enjoy it while it lasts because heat and humidity arrive by Wednesday with temperatures climbing back into the 90s and continuing to build late in the week.
