9-year-old Chase Brubaker was riding his bike with an 11-year-old girl while vacationing at Disney World's Fort Wilderness. They boy's mother, Kelly Brubaker, remembers Chase telling her that this was the best vacation ever. Unfortunately, Chase's vacation and life were cut short when a Disney bus struck him on his bike ride.
Brubaker was pulled under the bus's right rear tire. Emergency responders pronounced him dead on the scene.
Disney says that the boy veered into the road. The 11-year-old girl that was riding with Brubaker and Brubaker's family state that the bus veered over the curb and onto the sidewalk where it hit Brubaker.
Officials are still investigating the car accident, whether the bus driver saw the boy, and if charges should be filed.
The Brubaker family has hired an attorney to recover compensation for their tragic loss at the hands of Disney.
