Police said they arrested a man who was seen speeding past a school bus last month and nearly running over a young girl.
In the video, the yellow school bus arrived at the girl's home and the red stop sign popped out -- signaling to drivers behind the bus and in front of the bus to stop. That's when a blue Toyota Corolla flashed past the bus, ignoring the stop sign.Thankfully, Melina heard her mother's warning and she was not harmed.
"Thank God that little girl reacted to what I believe is the reckless indifference and the willful disregard for a state law that’s designed to protect the most precious cargo of any vehicle on our roadways and that's our children," Acevedo said at the briefing."She was able to save her own life though her own actions because if it wasn't for her self-awareness I believe that we might be having a different conversation today.
