YOU READ IT HERE FIRST: A female was struck, dragged and killed by a mini school bus this morning on Broad Avenue at Fort Lee Road in Leonia.
Witnesses told CLIFFVIEW PILOT that other motorists screamed at the bus driver, who apparently wasn’t aware of what happened at first.
The bus then pulled to the northbound curb of Broad Avenue about 100 or so feet from the intersection.
A sheet was tied to the back of the Rainbow Transportation Inc. mini bus covering the victim, whose body ended up at the rear driver’s side wheel well.
Investigators were interviewing the driver.
Leonia police were joined by the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office Fatal Accident Investigations Unit, the Bergen County Sheriff’s Office, Bergen County Police officers, Englewood Hospital and Medical Center paramedics and borough firefighters.
A stretch of Broad Avenue was closed, and westbound traffic was moving slowly through the area.
