Posted/updated on: January 23, 2013 at 5:11 pmCHAPEL HILL — Authorities say a toddler was run over and killed Tuesday at around 3:25 p.m. by a Chapel Hill school bus on Pearl Street near the intersection of Gallion Avenue. According to KETK, Justice of the Peace Mitch Shamburger says the bus was dropping off a child as the child’s mother walked across the street. Shamburger says the mother did not realize her 1 1/2-year-old daughter had come out of the gate and gone in front of the bus. That’s when the bus ran over the toddler, identified as Arra Preciado. Witnesses tried to stop the bus, and Shamburger says the vehicle proceeded some 75 feet before stopping. The investigation continues.
