A boy who was hit by a school bus more than a week ago has died, according to his father.

The driver of the bus allegedly committed a hit-and-run, leaving the scene of the accident without giving aid to the critically injured 14-year-old, according to the Dayton Police Department.

The accident was reported about 6:30 am on Friday, October 16th on US 90 at Stilson Road, where police found the boy, Brantley Connor severely injured by the side of the road.

He was taken to a hospital, where he was fighting for his life, according to his father, but passed away this past Thursday.

Brantley was in 8th grade at Woodrow Wilson junior High School in the Aldine ISD.

The bus driver, now identified as Ricky Eugene Cherry, was arrested several hours after the accident, and was charged with collision causing bodily injury.
