An 11-year-old boy has died after being hit by a school bus while riding his bike in Rockland, Ontario, police said.
Emergency crews were dispatched to the scene of a collision between a school bus and a bicyclist on St. Joseph Street near Holy Trinity Catholic Elementary School around 3:30 p.m. Monday.

Ontario Provincial Police said this morning that the 11-year-old boy died from his injuries.
The school bus driver was not injured.
Dinisha Dzormo lives in the area and said there are problems on the street.
"This road is supposed to be a school road, but drivers are often careless," he said. "A lot of people run downhill stations and a lot of people don't pay attention."
