School bus reportedly kills 5-year-old girl after dropping her off at home
A heartbreaking incident unfolded in Spring Valley, New York, where a 5-year-old girl, Toba Neuman, was struck and fatally injured by a school bus shortly after being dropped off. The tragic accident occurred near Madison Avenue in Spring Valley, a village situated approximately 36 miles northwest of New York City within Rockland County's towns of Ramapo and Clarkstown.
According to reports from a local news source, Rockland Buff, which primarily operates on Twitter and now goes by the name X, the devastating incident involved a Satmar school bus and resulted in Toba Neuman's immediate passing. Despite efforts by paramedics, she could not be revived. While official confirmation is pending, local news outlets have confirmed at least one fatality from the incident. Another Twitter account, formerly known as Ramapo Buffs, mentioned that the "patient is in traumatic arrest," adding to the grim details surrounding the event.
Diane Caruso, a reporter from News 12, highlighted the somber reality that this is the second fatal accident in the area within a few weeks, with a young boy meeting a similar fate on January 29 in nearby New Square, just north of Spring Valley.
Tragedy struck elsewhere as well, with a 9-year-old boy named Elyas Marshall Rodriguez from Orlando, Florida, losing his life in a devastating accident involving a school bus. Elyas, who had recently triumphed over cancer, was fatally injured when he attempted to retrieve a ball from beneath the bus after disembarking. The moving bus tragically crushed him under its wheel, prompting an investigation by the Florida Highway Patrol, who are treating the incident as a traffic homicide.
November also bore witness to another heart-wrenching event, as six individuals lost their lives in Ohio when a lorry collided with their bus. Among the victims were students and teachers en route to a state school board conference, all members of the school's band scheduled to perform at the event.
