6-year-old child dies after school bus ride in New Jersey
A woman is facing charges after a 6-year-old child in a wheelchair died following a school bus ride in New Jersey on Monday morning.
Amanda Davila, 27, was charged with manslaughter and endangering the welfare of a child in connection to the death of Fajir Williams. Police say the bus hit a series of bumps on the road, causing Williams to slump in her wheelchair. The four-point harness that secured her to the chair ended up blocking her airway.
Davila was seated at the front of the bus for the ride and officials say she was on her phone and wearing earbuds in both ears. Prosecutors say that is a violation of policy and procedure.
