JERSEY CITY, N.J. (CBSNewYork) — A driver and bus aide have been fired after a 4-year-old boy was left in a hot bus for several hours Wednesday in the midst of a sweltering heat wave, according to a spokeswoman for Atlantic Express Bus Company.
Jersey City’s police chief said the special needs boy survived being left unattended in a parked school bus for more than five hours, CBS 2’s Derricke Dennis reported.
The boy was found at about 1:15 p.m. Wednesday by a bus mechanic at a bus lot on Newark Avenue and Routes 1 and 9. The parked bus had apparently not been checked by the driver and an aide who was on board.
The boy was picked up at 7:30 a.m., supposedly headed to a summer program at Jersey City’s P.S. 3 on Bright Avenue for a 7:50 a.m. arrival. Instead, the special needs boy was left on the bus until after 1 p.m., spending five hours alone in the sweltering heat.
Because of the boy’s disability, police said they haven’t been able to determine if he fell ******, or if the driver and aide simply failed to check the bus.
