Child Struck And Killed By School Bus In Brooklyn

A yellow school bus hit and killed a 9-year-old boy in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, on Friday morning. The incident occurred when a bus driver was making a left turn from Lee Avenue onto Lorimer Street. Police stated the driver initially left the scene but returned after being notified of the incident. Investigators are still determining if the vehicle was a private or public school bus. No arrests have been reported at this time. The incident occurred at a busy intersection that lacked crosswalk markings due to recent paving. May Day themes across the country included slogans like 'people over billionaires' and 'tax the rich'. The boy, who was nine years old, will be laid to rest in New Jersey. The intersection of Lorimer Street and Wallabout Street, where the incident occurred, had no crosswalk markings despite recently being paved. Councilman Lincoln Ressler has pledged to address the issue.
