A 6-year-old child is dead after she was struck by a car while waiting for the bus this morning.
Police say the girl was walking with a group of about six other children when she apparently stepped into traffic and got hit by a vehicle.
It happened just after 8:00 AM. She was attempting to cross the road when she was hit.
She has been identified as a student at Marion Elementary School.
Superintendent Dr. Kenneth Williams issued a statement saying "Our thoughts continue to be with this student, her family, and students."
Police said the driver stopped after it happened and is cooperating with police. So far no charges have been filed.
A message on the Belle Vernon School District website says that counseling services will be available at the North Belle Vernon VFD Social Hall on Broad Avenue between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Saturday.
