BATH BEACH, Brooklyn — A school bus driver was arrested Thursday after an 11-year-old girl was struck and killed while crossing the street in Brooklyn, police said.

Amira Aminova was hit by the bus near Bath Avenue and 23rd Avenue shortly after 3 p.m. She was taken to a nearby hospital with severe head and bodily trauma and was pronounced dead, the NYPD said.

The girl was in a crosswalk near her home when she was struck. Surveillance video showed her running in the crosswalk as the bus turned onto Bath Avenue.

The driver, 62-year-old Wawa Aurelus, initially left the scene but was later arrested in Brooklyn. He was charged with failure to yield to a pedestrian or cyclist and failure to exercise due care. Authorities said no additional criminal charges were expected, as the incident appeared to be accidental.

Neighbors described Aminova as a regular visitor to a local deli, buying snacks before school, and remembered her as quiet and friendly.
