Reedsburg student dies after being hit by truck while boarding bus

A middle school student died Friday morning in the Town of Excelsior after being hit by a pickup truck while trying to board a school bus, the Sauk Co. Sheriff’s Office confirmed. In a statement, the School District of Reedsburg indicated the student, whose name has not been released, attended Webb Middle School. “This is a truly devastating time for our entire community, and it will have far-reaching effects,” the district wrote in a statement. “Our thought continue to be the student and family and all those impacted in our tight-knit community.” According to the Sheriff’s Office, the bus was heading west along State Hwy 23/33 shortly before 7:30 a.m. when it stopped near Northwoods Drive. The student had not yet boarded when a Ford F-150 came up behind the bus. Investigators determined the driver did not slow down in time and swerved right to avoid the school bus.
