Kansas City Kansas 9-Year-Old Struck and Killed in School Bus Accident
Unfortunately, too many young lives are claimed annually and even more are effected by significant injuries arising out of pedestrian versus school bus accidents.The National Safety Counsel has reported that 83% of pedestrians that were killed in school bus transportation collisions were actually struck by a bus. Approximately 11,000 injuries were sustained nationwide in 2005 following an accident involving school bus transportation.
According to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration, there have been 104 lives claimed amongst young pedestrians after being struck by a school bus. About 50 of those child pedestrians were between the ages of 5 and 7.
A 9-year-old Kansas City, Kansas girl waiting for a school bus with her younger sister was struck and killed Thursday morning. According to witnesses a school bus approaching the intersection collided with a stop sign and was continuing on when a child on the bus alerted the driver that a child had been hit. The 9-year-old, whose name has not been released, attended John F. Kennedy Elementary School. Kansas City Kansas School District officials have provided a crisis team to assist the children.
Witnesses to this accident reported that the streets in the area are too narrow and there are no sidewalks that provide a safe place for children to wait. School bus safety is of the utmost concern to parents and school districts. Most accidents involving school buses occur during the loading and unloading process. Unfortunately, the National Safety Counsel advises that children cannot count on drivers to stop even though they are required to do so when a school bus stops for the loading and unloading process.
At Roswold Law Group Kansas City Accident & Injury Attorneys, our sympathies go out to the family of the victim as well as all the children at John F. Kennedy Elementary School who must deal with the loss of a child, student, and friend. In light of this heartbreaking story, we want to provide our Kansas City Community with some basic bus safety tips and information that can help your child avoid the all too common bus transportation accident.
