Police say a six-year-old boy has died after being hit by a school bus in Vaughan, Ont. 

York Regional Police say they responded to the community of Kleinburg just before 8 a.m. Wednesday for reports of a child being struck by a school bus. 

They say the six-year-old boy suffered fatal injuries and died at the scene. 

Police say the bus driver remained at the scene and is co-operating with investigators.
