A little girl was struck by a school bus Monday afternoon in Brooklyn and was clinging to life, police said.
The 4-year-old girl was crossing the street when she was hit around 3:56 p.m. near E. Second St. and Avenue J in Midwood.
The child was across the street from her home, walking from the west to the east side of the street, a witness who did not want to give their name recounted.
“The bus came barreling down the street and hit her. I screamed for him to stop, but he couldn’t hear me,” the witness said. “She was still conscious. Her left side was damaged. Her left side was under the wheels.”

Police said the bus driver remained at the scene, and that no arrests were made and no criminality was suspected in the horrifying collision.
