A mother in Antigua is taking legal action against a bus driver who allegedly struck her 12-year-old daughter while the child was crossing Joseph Lane after school. The incident, which occurred as Jakanda Dominique stepped off the sidewalk, has left the young girl with significant injuries and unable to attend school. Witnesses reported that the bus was traveling at high speed when it hit Jakanda, throwing her several feet. A nearby coach intervened to prevent further harm as the girl fell. Jakanda sustained injuries to her leg and shoulder, with her leg still in a cast and ongoing pain. Her mother, Clevelander Christian, claims the driver attempted to flee the scene but was stopped by bystanders. Christian also alleges that the driver has not contacted the family or expressed any concern since the incident. The matter has been reported to the police, who are currently investigating. Christian has sought legal representation to pursue damages, describing the driver’s actions as reckless. She has called for increased caution among public transport operators, particularly during school dismissal times when children are more vulnerable on the roads.
