The collision occurred just after 5:15 p.m. Thursday; the child was airlifted to Memorial Hermann Hospital but succumbed to injuries. The driver remained at the scene as authorities investigate. Katy ISD has confirmed the student’s identity is being withheld out of respect for the family during this devastating time, while offering support services to the school community. This heartbreaking incident underscores the urgent need for road safety awareness—especially for young riders—and serves as a somber reminder of the fragility of life. Our hearts are with the family and the entire school as they grieve. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
