Police have identified the victim of the bus collision on Nov. 20, 2024 as 22-year-old FIU alum Anjali Persaud.
The collision happened on Southwest 109th Avenue and Second Street — just three minutes away from MMC. The bus was turning right onto Third Street before making a fatal impact with Persaud. No stop sign is present for northbound traffic.
Persaud was transported to HCA Florida Kendall Hospital before succumbing to her injuries.
Persaud had graduated from FIU in the summer of 2024 with a degree in Business Administration.
It is unclear if Persaud was attempting to cross the road or if the driver will face any charges. The bus was transporting nine children. None were injured.
A memorial of roses has been started at the scene of the incident.
This is a developing story.
