A Massachusetts boy was fatally struck by a school bus while returning home from school Monday afternoon, police said.
The boy was hit by the Boston Public School bus in the area of 107 Washington Street in Hyde Park just after 2:40 p.m.
He was rushed to a hospital, where he died. Information about the victim’s age and identity was not immediately available.
“He was in bad shape. It was the worst thing I’ve ever seen,” a witness said.
Boston Police Commissioner Michael Cox said that the driver of the bus was cooperating with investigators.
“This is a tragic investigation of a child being struck and who is deceased,” Cox said.
“And we are doing all we can to make sure we investigate the root causes and everything associated with this.”
