A recent incident involving a school bus hitting and fatally injuring a 12-year-old girl in Las Vegas has sparked discussions on the preventable factors that may have led to the tragedy. Footage from inside the bus revealed that the crash, which claimed the life of Haylee Ryan as she rode her bicycle, could have been avoided by adhering to traffic laws, such as not parking in bike lanes.
