School Bus Hits and Kills Jennifer Flores Diaz in Sandy

A school bus hit and killed a high school student on Friday afternoon in Sandy.

Officers responded to reports of an auto-pedestrian accident involving a bus at 1 p.m. Friday, Sandy police Sgt. Greg Moffitt said. The crash occurred at the intersection of State Street and 8375 South.

Moffitt said a Canyons School District school bus was driving 16 Hillcrest High School students when the bus hit a pedestrian, according to police.

The driver and none of the students on the bus were injured in the accident, but police confirmed the pedestrian hit was a 15-year-old girl who attends Jordan High School.

An email was sent to parents of Jordan High School students that identified the student as Jennifer Flores Diaz.

“Our deepest condolences go out to the student’s parents and family and to Jordan High teachers, staff and students who are struggling with pain and loss,” Jordan High officials said in the email.
