A five-year-old girl crossing the street to catch her school bus was struck and killed in Brooklyn Tuesday morning.
Police say Chana Friedlander darted out between parked cars on Marcy Avenue in Williamsburg after she saw the school bus, which had stopped to pick up a student a short distance away. Instead of waiting for the driver to move to her location, she tried to run to the bus.
“I stopped here to pick up two children from both sides – this side and that side – put on the flashing lights, opened the door and all of a sudden in my mirror, I see a car right near my bus and I beeped her to stop,” said the bus driver Jenoe Lichtman. “I blowed the horn [for her] to stop. She ignored everything. She passed the red lights, the flashing lights, and hit the child.”

A five-year-old girl crossing the street to catch her school bus was struck and killed in Brooklyn Tuesday morning.
Police say Chana Friedlander darted out between parked cars on Marcy Avenue in Williamsburg after she saw the school bus, which had stopped to pick up a student a short distance away. Instead of waiting for the driver to move to her location, she tried to run to the bus.
“I stopped here to pick up two children from both sides – this side and that side – put on the flashing lights, opened the door and all of a sudden in my mirror, I see a car right near my bus and I beeped her to stop,” said the bus driver Jenoe Lichtman. “I blowed the horn [for her] to stop. She ignored everything. She passed the red lights, the flashing lights, and hit the child.”
Police are investigating whether the bus driver had his flashing lights on at the time of t he accident and if so, the driver of the BMW that struck Friedlander would then have been required by law to stop.
Police say the 27-year-old driver did not try to flee the scene. She was badly shaken and taken to the hospital.
The girl’s funeral is being held Tuesday afternoon at Penn Street and Bedford Avenue.

We must educate our kids how to cross the street and go on the bus. Yesterday, while sitting in a parked car on kingston two young boys ran right behind a car that was trying to park, one inch more and we could have had a tragedy,chas vshalom.

HaShem did send Moshiach already; 2000 years ago: His name is Yeshua. He started his work and will come again to finish it when he is ready.
