School officials said a 4-year-old child was hit by a school bus in the Westport neighborhood just off of River Road in Brunswick County. School officials say they got the call around 3:30 on Friday. Witnesses said the child appeared to lean over to pick up a piece of candy when one of the front tires rolled forward. The child was transported to New Hanover Regional Medical Center. An update on their condition will be available at a later time.

Just quoting the article; how is it that just one of the front tires rolled forward? Did it come off the bus and hit the child, or did the entire bus roll forward?

Such a tragedy should not exist

My heart and prayers go out to the boy and his family. Hopefully he will have a full recovery. My heart also goes out to the bus driver as this was an obvious unintentional mistake and such a horrible thing to endure for all involved.
