Traveling in the outside lane of Westside Boulevard, the front of the van struck the rear of a passenger bus that was stopped ahead of it at the roadway’s four-way intersection with Funie Steed Road, troopers said.

The woman was treated for minor injuries and the boy was pronounced dead at the hospital, according to FHP. Troopers believe the child was in a forward-facing car seat, the report states.

The driver of the bus — which troopers said had no passengers on board at the time — was not injured and remained at the scene.
