Chase Brubaker of St. Petersburg, Fla., was riding his bike with a young girl on the sidewalk on Big Pine Drive. But then Brubaker apparently left the sidewalk and went into the road. He hit the side of a bus, was pulled underneath it and then was run over by the vehicle.
The boy, who was pronounced dead at the scene, was wearing a helmet. The girl was unharmed.
The man driving the bus, which picks up visitors along the Fort Wilderness Loop, was David Russel Rich, of Montverde, Fla. Police said a full investigation could take as long as two months.
“We wish to extend our deepest sympathy to the boy’s family d loved ones for their loss,” a Disney spokeswoman said.
