A 6-year-old girl with special needs died this week in New Jersey after a bus seat belt constricted her throat and limited her access to oxygen, CNN reports.
Amanda Davila, 27, a bus controller, secured a child in a wheelchair at the very back of a school bus on Monday, July 17, according to the Somerset County Attorney’s Office.
During the trip, due to a series of bumps in the road, a 6-year-old girl “slid out of her wheelchair”. The straps that secured her to the chair tightened around her neck, eventually cutting off her airway.
According to the investigation, at that time Davila was sitting in front of the bus and was listening to music with headphones on her mobile phone. “The investigation found that this was a breach of security policy.”
The Franklin Township Police Department received a report that the student was found unconscious, prosecutors said. The prosecutor’s office did not name the school where the girl studied.

The officers performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the girl and took her to the intensive care unit of the hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
Prosecutors said Davila was arrested on Wednesday and charged with second-degree manslaughter and endangering a child’s welfare in the second degree.
The accused is being held at the Somerset County Jail and is awaiting a hearing. CNN was unable to determine if she has hired an attorney at this time.
Franklin Township is located about 50 kilometers southwest of Newark, New Jersey.
