School bus hits child

QUEENS, N.Y. — First responders flocked to the scene of an accident around 2:30 p.m. for a report that a school bus struck a pedestrian. Later reports surfaced indicating that a child was pinned under a school bus. QNS.com reported that a spokesperson from the Fire Department of New York was unable to confirm that information. The location of the pedestrian accident was suspected of being 34th Avenue and 79th Street. First responders raced the pedestrian accident victim to a local hospital in critical condition. The current medical status of the pedestrian accident victim is not known at this time. Authorities are still investigating.

FDNY released few details about the pedestrian accident. However, an FDNY spokesperson confirmed that the department received a call around 2:30 p.m. on Thursday, March 28, 2019. Fire and EMS personnel responded to the location of the accident. FDNY said the accident scene was at 34thStreet and 79thAvenue and the crash involved a pedestrian. The FDNY spokesperson also noted that EMS transported the pedestrian accident victim to the nearest hospital. The spokesperson acknowledged that the victim was in serious condition.

The FDNY spokesperson did not provide any additional details. A reporter questioned the FDNY spokesperson about a report appearing in a social media website that said that the victim of the crash was a child and that child was pinned under the wheels of the bus. The spokesperson was not able to confirm the accuracy of that information. No other details were readily available.

A successful pedestrian accident personal injury claim frequently turns on how the accident happened. The motorist is not always at fault when a pedestrian is hit by a car. In fact, in many cases, the driver accuses the pedestrian of failing to use caution. Therefore, a pedestrian accident victim needs to have a knowledgeable and successful pedestrian accident attorney who understands how to build a compelling case on their side.
