GSP reported that the bus was on Jackson Lake Road in the northbound lanes. The bus activated both stop signs in the front and rear, and red flashing lights indicated the vehicle stopped for passengers to enter. As the victim crossed the street, the driver allegedly struck the child.
Emergency medical personnel performed a “life-saving measure” before she was flown via helicopter to Egelston Children’s Hospital in Atlanta, reported the GSP.
