Girl Walking to School Hit, Killed by School Bus

Patience Albert, 10, was crossing the street at a Brooklyn intersection locals say is notoriously dangerous when a school bus attempting to make a right turn hit the girl as apparent family members looked on, distraught, NBC New York reports. Albert, who was walking to school with her brother at the time, died at a hospital shortly after the 6:30am Tuesday collision, the New York Post reports. The bus driver was suspended by his employer and charged with failure to yield to a pedestrian and failure to exercise due care. The intersection has all-way stop signs, which locals say isn't enough. "Just because black and brown people live here doesn't mean we don't deserve traffic lights," said one person at the scene.
