Tragedy at School Bus Stop | Hartford News

A heartbreaking tragedy struck North Stonington when 11-year-old Torren O’Grady died after a fatal collision with a school bus. The crash occurred Wednesday morning as the boy rode behind the bus — which made a left turn — and struck its front. The bus driver, a 76-year-old man, was unharmed. Torren, a sixth-grader at North Stonington Elementary, was pronounced dead at the scene. In response, the school district is providing counselors and emotional support dogs to help students and families cope. Governor Ned Lamont expressed deep sorrow and urged drivers to exercise extreme caution around school buses and zones as the new school year begins. Authorities are still investigating and asking witnesses or those with video to contact Trooper Christopher Brett.
