Community members are coming together to mourn a loss and rally support for a family after a four-year-old boy died after being struck by a bus driver in Horseshoe Bay last week. West Vancouver police responded to a crash at Keith Road and Bay Street around 3:30 pm on Wednesday, May 28, where three pedestrians were reported “to be pinned beneath a transit bus,” according to a release from West Van police. Firefighters and paramedics were on scene to provide life-saving efforts for the three individuals, police said in a statement last week. Four-year-old Leonardo Machado died on scene.
