A five-year-old Maine boy was dragged nearly 300 feet and run over by his own school bus after his arm became trapped in the closing doors. The NTSB investigation comes as national data shows approximately 16 children die annually in school bus loading zones, a number that has persisted for decades despite available technology to prevent such tragedies.
