I just saw this on my local news website and came here for more info. This is terrible. So many WDW transportation accidents lately
I feel so terrible for his family.

How terribly sad this is! My son was 10 the first time we visited WDW. Now I want to go home and hug him!

This is so sad...my prayers are with the family Disney is going to have to look into making their buses a little safer...some of the drivers are crazy(but then again bus drivers everywhere are)
Poor family right before a holiday and on vacation

Sounds like he was riding a bike. Very sad.

Yes, he was on a bike. My post from the podcast board:

Very tragic. Until the details are out I can't lay the blame completely on Disney yet. The kids were on bikes. I cycle a lot on roads with traffic and there are things you have to do to stay safe when you are biking on a public road.

There are many drivers who are not very good at interacting with cyclists and many cyclists that are not very good at interacting with traffic. I have seen both.

Regardless of the fault it is sad to have people killed anywhere let alone at Disney.

I just read the article and my heart goes out to all involved. I can't imagine losing a child so suddenly, especially at WDW. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and those involved.

Along with the family, my heart also goes out to the other passengers on the bus.
