For that heartbreaking and deadly highway crash in Virginia, the bus driver is now facing involuntary manslaughter charges. 
Five people were killed in the crash on Friday, including a family of four heading to a wedding in South Carolina. 
More than 40 others were injured. 
ABC's Andrew Dymburt has that story. 
>> Tonight, the driver of that deadly bus crash on I-95 in Virginia now facing criminal charges as we learn more about the victims killed. 
Virginia State Police charging 48-year-old Jin Dong of Staten Island with two felony counts of involuntary manslaughter and saying more charges are pending. 
>> Multiple people jumping out of windows, multiple vehicles on fire. 
>> The deadly chain reaction crash happening early Friday morning in Stafford County, Virginia. 
Video showing survivors climbing through windows of the smoke-filled bus as first responders raced to the scene. 
Investigators say the bus traveling from New York to Charlotte failed to slow down for traffic backed up near a work zone, slamming into several vehicles before overturning, killing five and injuring more than 40 others. 
And tonight, new details about the lives lost. 
Relatives say four of the victims were members of the Donchev family from Massachusetts, a mother, father, and their two children headed to a wedding in South Carolina with a car full of homemade desserts. 
Tonight, relatives tell ABC News that wedding going forward while also mourning the Donchevs. 
The NTSB now trying to determine what caused the bus driver to plow into the backup, saying speed may have played a factor. 
>> It seems fairly clear that if there was any braking, there wasn't much because of the speed and the severity of the collision. 
>> Lindsey, the driver who was injured in the crash remains hospitalized while in police custody. 
His court date will be set once he's released from the hospital. 
He's facing up to 20 years behind bars if convicted. 
Lindsey? 
>> Andrew, thank you.
