Melanie Earley Reporter from The Bay Chronicle

Kia ora neighbours, a coroner has called for refreshers on school bus safety after a child was killed while crossing SH1 in Northland.

Hinerangi Moana Iese, 12, was hit by a truck when she attempted to cross the road around 3pm on November 1, 2019.

Normally when she was let off the bus she walked home on the same side of the road, but a coroner’s report stated for “unknown reasons” she walked to the back of the bus and attempted to cross over.
