NEW YORK (AP) — A 15-year-old girl was found dead in a Brooklyn street after she was apparently hit by a school bus, police said Monday.
The vehicle, described as a yellow school bus, was gone when officers arrived around 8 a.m. at the scene on Bedford Avenue and Avenue P, near the Midwood neighborhood. They were answering a call that a pedestrian had been hit by a vehicle.
It wasn’t immediately clear who owns or was driving the bus. The city Education Department said none of its buses were on the road, as schools were closed for the Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday.
The New York Police Department hasn’t yet released the name of the girl, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
