Hollister Police Chief David Westrick indicated Thursday that investigators expect to finish the report next week regarding a July 27 fatal bus crash resulting in the death of an 11-year-old boy.
Police investigators are following up after the accident last Monday at Memorial Drive and Verdun Avenue. A bus with the County Express transit service struck bicyclist Joshua Rodriguez at the intersection, and the boy was pronounced dead shortly thereafter.
Police have yet to comment on a narrative of what may have occurred at the scene, whether they believe any negligence was involved or if the boy was wearing a helmet. It is also unclear how many people may have witnessed the accident.
Westrick responded to a Thursday email with questions on the investigation’s status by noting how he had talked to investigators and they expect to have a report completed by “midweek” of next week.
