6-Year-Old Is Dragged By School Bus For 1 Mile

Talk about a close call! One little girl from North Carolina is lucky to be alive today after she miraculously survived a truly traumatic experience on her way home from school.

There is no denying that bus drivers have a very difficult job. From keeping kids behaved on the bus to dealing with chaos on the road, it must be hard to have a good day behind a school bus wheel, but it’s without a doubt one of the most important jobs to keep our little ones safe.

That’s why first-grader Chelsea Klepzig’s family was outraged when she never made it off the bus one Monday afternoon. The Daily News reported that the 6-year-old from Kernersville in the Winston-Salem got off the bus to meet her grandmother, when her arm got stuck in the door and the 78-year-old substitute driver, identified as Rueben Hash, had no idea.

Chelsea’s grandmother noticed and frantically chased down the driver, who finally pulled over after about 1 mile.

“If he was following any kind of procedure that he should be following, why didn’t he notice that my child didn’t make it around the front of the bus?” her father, John Klepzig, told Daily News. “Just to realize what had happened to her — it just tore me up.”

 

Miraculously, the girl walked away with only minor injuries. The driver reportedly resigned after the horrifying incident.
