Lederion Miller suffered head injuries and died at a hospital, according to Lafayette Parish Sheriff’s Office and Lafayette Parish school system news releases.
While the circumstances that contributed to the boy’s death remain under investigation, “We have to assume that when the door closed, a piece of clothing or something got caught on the door or the arm (that swings out toward the front of the bus when it makes a stop),” Sheriff’s Office spokesman Lt. Craig Stansbury said.
