Grand Ledge A 9-year-old boy on a bike was struck by a school bus and killed outside a school in Eaton County, authorities said.
The incident occurred Monday afternoon outside Neff Kindergarten Center in Grand Ledge. Malachi Williams was in fourth grade at Beagle Elementary School.
“We extend our deepest sympathy to the family, friends of the family and all in the GLPS community,” interim Superintendent David Chapin said in a note to parents.
Counselors were at schools Tuesday to support students and staff.
Grand Ledge police were investigating the crash, although negligence by the bus driver doesn’t appear to be the cause, Chief Thomas Osterholzer said.
