An 11-year-old girl died on Thursday after being struck by a school bus as she crossed a street in Brooklyn, according to the Police Department.

A school minibus was stolen and driven over moorland before it was found abandoned with a large part of its engine missing.

The Riteway bus driver, 71-year-old Deda Odekirk-Schuh of Saukville, who was the sole occupant on the bus, had minor injuries and was transported to a local hospital.
