AI-generated summary
A 14-year-old boy died from crush injuries after being run over by a school bus on Wises Road, Gympie. He had requested an undesignated stop, exited the bus, then ran back in front of it as the driver pulled away. The driver had checked his rear-view mirror before proceeding and could not have seen the deceased in time to stop. The coroner found the death was unavoidable and caused by the deceased's unsafe action of running directly in front of the moving bus. The driver took appropriate precautions and attempted evasive action. No clinical or preventable factors were identified.
