The innocent four-year-old child left his home in the morning, carrying his school bag, his face beaming with joy and innocence, excited for a new day of learning and play. His mother bade him farewell with a smile tinged with longing, unaware that this would be their final goodbye.

As the child was crossing the road in front of a school transport bus in the Rabieh area of Amman, the accident occurred, turning the family’s life upside down. The bus ran over the little boy due to the driver’s failure to take proper safety precautions and ensure the child’s safe passage, according to the Traffic Department.

Driver’s Mistake Initial investigations revealed that the driver did not monitor the child’s path while crossing the street and failed to stop at the far right of the road to guarantee his safety, leading to this heartbreaking tragedy that snatched away the morning’s innocence and the joy of going to school.

The incident was not just a statistic or an official report, but a story of pain and sorrow for a small family, where a hopeful farewell turned into an indescribable tragedy.

An Unimaginable Tragedy The painful scene outside the child’s home, and the tears shed over his loss, reflect the depth of the tragedy that struck the mother and all who knew the little boy. The final moments of farewell were not only bitter—they carried the grief of a child who returned home but never completed his steps inside. Death came faster than lunch or playing with his toys, which will forever miss his touch.
