Today, a 13-year-old girl was killed when she was struck by a car while boarding her bus in Erie County.  Another student was also injured and was taken to the hospital.  The car accident happened just after 7 am this morning.

No charges have been filed against the 19 year old driver as of yet. But it's possible the family of the student who died will file a wrongful death lawsuit against him. The injured student's family could also file a personal injury suit.

The crash happened just a week before a new law goes into effect for teen drivers in the state. Although the 19-year-old motorist is just over the age limit for the new law, it promises to serve as a reminder for all Pennsylvania motorists to drive cautiously and without distractions.
