Boy, 5, fatally struck by school bus in Granbury, Texas

A pre-kindergarten student in Granbury, Texas, was struck and killed Monday morning by a school bus.

The Rock Hill Herald reports that the student, a 5-year-old boy, attended Emma Roberson Early Learning Academy.

Police say the incident happened around 6 a.m. after the bus driver picked up students a couple of miles away from the school.

“As the bus was pulling away, a child ran up the driver’s side and in front of the bus where he was struck by the front right of the bus,” the Texas Department of Public safety said.

Granbury Superintendent Courtney Morawski said in a letter to families that no other students were injured.

Granbury is about a 40-mile drive southwest from Fort Worth.
