NEW YORK — A 15-year-old girl was found dead on a Brooklyn street after she was apparently struck by a school bus, and the driver was later arrested, police said Monday.
The vehicle, described as a yellow school bus, was gone when officers arrived around 8 a.m. at the scene at Bedford Avenue and Avenue P near the Midwood neighborhood. They were responding to a call that a pedestrian had been struck by a vehicle.
The New York City Police Department identified the girl as Antonina Zatulovska. A 55-year-old man was arrested for failing to yield to a pedestrian and not using due care.
It was not immediately clear who owns the bus. The city’s Department of Education said none of its buses were on the road as schools were closed for the Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday.
