Toddler, 3, trapped in school bus for five hours after driver failed to notice her fallen between the seats
A 3-year-old toddler was stuck on a school bus for five hours after "falling asleep and slipping between seats" before she was discovered by cleaners at the bus company's depot. Mali Jones was one of the students being driven to the nursery class at Ogmore Vale Primary School in Bridgend, Wales, on November 22, by bus company Davey's Travel, when she fell asleep and became trapped in the vehicle.
The distressed child, who was on the bus since at least 9 a.m., was found five hours later as she yelled for cleaners after having wet herself at the terminal in Abergarw Trading Estate, Brynmenyn.
27-year-old Amy Gibson, Mali's mother, told Daily Mail that she only received a text from her daughter's school at 11 a.m. telling her that Mali had not arrived for her classes. She also added that they made no attempt to contact her partner. Gibson was at work at the time of the incident and wasn't able to check her phone until 4 p.m. because of her employer's policy.
