just thinking about that poor 11-year-old girl is making me really sad... hit-and-run accidents like this are just senseless . It's a shame the bus driver just left her lying there, doesn't even stop to see if she's okay... it's just devastating . The city should really focus on road safety and make sure those in charge of buses follow the rules . Fingers crossed they catch the guy who did this soon

my heart is literally shattered thinking about that poor little girl she didn't deserve to die in a hit-and-run accident... how could someone be so reckless & cruel? the fact that the bus driver just left the scene is even more heartbreaking, like they're trying to escape their own guilt or something

anyway, my main concern right now is with the little girl's family and loved ones... they must be going through the toughest time of their lives it's not fair that we can't give them some closure & answers about what happened. i just hope the police find that bus driver soon & bring them to justice

This is a perfect example of how a system's failures can lead to devastating consequences . I mean, who lets a bus driver off the hook after hitting a pedestrian? It's like, what's the point of even having a traffic law? This kid was just 11 years old, for crying out loud! The fact that the bus driver didn't stop and check on the girl is unacceptable.

It's also raising questions about accountability and responsibility in our society. Is it the school's fault for not providing adequate training to their drivers? Are we really teaching them well enough? And what about the city's infrastructure? Shouldn't they be prioritizing pedestrian safety instead of just pushing for more roads and development?

This tragedy is a wake-up call for us all, reminding us that our transportation systems are not designed with people in mind. We need to take a closer look at how we're allocating resources and making decisions about public safety. It's time for some real change .

Man, this is just heartbreaking ... I mean, a 11-yr-old girl's life cut short like that? It's just not right. Back in my day, we didn't see kids getting killed on the street like that, especially not by a bus driver who was supposed to be watching out for people. And now they're searching for this guy and trying to figure out what happened... I'm sure it'll be a tough case, but you gotta bring the person accountable for this kinda thing. My heart goes out to her family and all the others affected by this tragedy .

.. just thinking about this news is giving me the chills ... it's like, what's the point of even having traffic rules if someone's gonna think it's no big deal to leave a kid lying in the middle of the road? It's heartbreaking for the family and community, but I guess we're all just thinking about our own mortality right now... how quickly can tragedy strike? And what does it say about us that we're more worried about the bus driver getting caught than the poor kid who got hurt first?

Ugh, another tragedy in our so-called 'progressive' society ... like, what's the point of having all these fancy innovations if we can't even keep our streets safe for kids? I mean, a school bus is supposed to be a safe ride, right? But nope, it turns out some driver was too distracted or whatever to stop and help. It's just so sad and preventable... can't we just slow down for a sec and think about the consequences of our actions?

Man... another one! Just thinking about it gives me chills. You know how crazy busy 23rd Ave is, especially during rush hour... I remember when my little cousin was in elementary school, we used to take the bus home all the time, and I always worried that something like this would happen. Like, what if the driver gets distracted or something? It's just not right, you know?

And now, 11 years old, gone too soon... my heart goes out to her family and friends. They're going through so much pain right now. I hope they get some justice, and that the cops catch this guy who did what he did. He's gotta pay for his mistake, you feel me?

this hit-and-run thingy is just so heartbreaking, man... it's like, a kid's life was literally cut short in an instant. I mean, can you even imagine if that were your own child or someone you love? it makes me think about how we all gotta be more careful and present on the roads, 'cause one wrong move can lead to devastating consequences.

And what really gets me is that this poor kid's life was cut short, but I wonder, are we as a society doing enough to make sure our kids feel safe? Like, are there enough crosswalks and traffic lights in place, or are we relying too much on drivers' own judgment? it's just a sad reminder of how fragile life can be.

The fact that the bus driver fled the scene is just, like, whoa... what kind of person does that? I guess it's a reminder that we all gotta stay vigilant and report any suspicious behavior to the authorities. Anyway, my heart goes out to this family and everyone affected by this tragedy.

I don’t usually comment but I'm still trying to process this one... It's just so shocking to think of an 11-year-old girl losing her life like that. I mean, can you even imagine being in her shoes? The thought of a school bus driver just leaving the scene without stopping is just heartbreaking. I don't know how anyone could do something like that and not think about the consequences.

I'm also wondering if this is going to spark any changes in how our city deals with transportation safety, especially when it comes to kids on buses. It's a tragedy like this that really makes you think about what we can do better.

what's going on in this world? an 11-year-old girl just lost her life in a hit-and-run accident... can't believe it happened in broad daylight like that . it's so sad for the family and everyone who knew her. I feel like these buses are supposed to be safe, you know? shouldn't they have some sort of cameras or something to make sure drivers aren't reckless? it's just not fair that the driver took off without stopping . hope they catch this guy soon and bring him to justice .
