While waiting for a school bus Monday morning, an 11-year-old boy and two of his siblings were struck by a vehicle. The 11 year old died and state police in Butler County said his 6-year-old brother was flown to UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh with a “suspected major injury,” while his 9-year-old sister was taken to a local hospital.

“The location where the children were standing, the way the vehicle was positioned at the intersection — combine that with the glare from the sun.” Police said, “At this point in the investigation, we found no wrongdoing by the operator of the vehicle,” .

Butler Area School District Superintendent Brian White said in his statement:

“The way our school community pulls together to support one another in the face of an incredibly difficult situation never fails to amaze me. I’m grateful to the many people who stepped up today and will continue to do so to offer their support to all those in need.

“On behalf of the entire school community, we extend our deepest sympathy to the student’s family and friends at this difficult time.”
