A 13-year-old girl has died Thursday evening after being struck by a school bus in Laval, shortly after she had exited the vehicle.

Emergency services were called around 5:40 p.m. to an incident involving a school bus and a pedestrian at the intersection of Avenue de la Volière and Boulevard des Rossignols in the Sainte-Rose sector.

According to Laval Police spokesperson Erika Landry, the teenager died at the scene. The driver was reportedly taken to a hospital to be treated for shock.

Landry explained that the scene was secured over a large perimeter and that witnesses were to be interviewed.

“We are not talking about criminal involvement, but the driver will certainly be interviewed, and the analysis of the scene will really help us determine the circumstances,” she said.
