Our bus driver, a father himself, got a similar scare with a kid. Now he will not move until the kids clear the bus area
My guess is he probably left something in the bus and forgot to take it out so he was trying to alert the bus driver to stopped but slipped and fall under resulting in him getting ran over.
I don't get its. Why it happened. ♥️🏀⚾️
Rip little man. I hope the Bus driver get help with the tragedy. So sad for all involved.
So, did he get the ball? Where is that ball now?
❤❤ R.I.P. Little-dude. 😢😢
when i was 9 years old, i walked to school rather then taking the school bus
America has some really bad karma. Probably becuase of all the things its done.
Bye 👋 non white
very sorry
Praying for the driver.and family 🌾.
I am sure there was a reason he crauled under the bus. No way to stop that, Poor kid.
Bless his heart, he could dropped something and thought he could get it fast, 😢 heartbreaking.
😢 heartbreaking
Something about this stinks…it is not right… where is the bus video…?
💔💔💔
😳🙏
My thoughts and prayers to family🙏🏼🙏🏼❤💛💚
Very sad. Life always finds ways of weeding out people. Crawling under a bus you just got off of is one. Not saying a bad thing about that poor child. I did many unwise actions as a child that could've remove me also. As child, as a teenager, as a young adult.
he committed suicide possibly
He survived cancer just to get hit by a bus? 😭
Most likely, he was playing around. I hope this tragedy doesn't ever occur again.
