Shock and sadness spread through the Monsey community on Friday, as word spread of a terrible tragedy that took the life of a young girl.
Sources tell YWN that a 5-year-old girl was struck by a Satmar school bus that had just dropped her off outside her home near South Madison Avenue & West Funston Avenue in Spring Valley on Friday.
Hatzolah paramedics rushed to the scene South Madison Avenue and West Funston, but were sadly unable to revive the young girl.
She was identified as Toba Neuman A”H.
Spring Valley police are now investigating the awful accident, with Misaskim and Chesed Shel Emes at the scene as well.

Not C”V pointing fingers. Dont know how this or the one in New Square happened. Its a fact that ALL heimish school bus drivers are always on the phone. Even with headsets, they can’t fully focus.
See how goyish drivers pickup, they look and make sure 2x. unfortunately we pay with kids lives every year.

I agree to an extent. That extent is – I see drivers both Jewish and non Jewish driving like maniacs in Monsey. I have no idea what happened here but it’s a horrible tragedy. Boruch Dayan Haemes.
Jack596 On average, there are nearly 60,000 bus accidents each year in the United States. While most of these collisions result in property damage only, hundreds of people are killed and thousands more are injured. Researchers estimate that as many as 14,000 injuries occur in these crashes.
Visibility from a bus is not good. They should have 360 degree cameras on every school bus, and drivers should be required to ensure they’re all clear before leaving each stop.
jack596, sorry to burst your bubble but the driver here was clearly non Jewish.
