Last Thursday morning, a New York student was struck and killed by a school bus in Rockland County on Ostilla Avenue in the Village of New Square, CBS reported.

According to reports, the "bus driver did not realize they struck the child before getting flagged down and returning to the scene."

Rockland Hatzoloh EMS responded to the scene. The child died around 12:15 p.m. at Westchester County Medical Center.

Local news outlet The Monsey Scoop reported the child's name as Mattisyahu Glick. This has not been confirmed by local officials yet.

The bus company is cooperating with investigators, and the bus, named Yeshiva Avir Yakov, was towed and will be inspected by the state Department of Transportation, according to police. 

"The Ramapo Police Department extends its condolences to the family and community during this extremely difficult time. We respectfully ask for patience as the investigation continues," police told the Hudson Valley Post.

This is not the first time this area has seen a school bus accident, according to local reports. Last month, another child was seriously injured after he fell out of the back of a moving bus. Two years ago, an 8-year-old boy was hit and killed by a bus in New Square. And in 2022, several children were seriously injured after a school bus lost control on the road and crashed into a house in Ramapo.
