Maracalho was on his bicycle going west on West Church Street when he entered a crosswalk. The bus was going in the same direction on the street, turned left onto Veterans Plaza, and hit Maracalho, Rabboh said.

Maracallo was pronounced dead at the hospital within an hour of arriving there following the crash, police previously said. He was a student at Hoover Elementary School.

Bergenfield Public Schools Superintendent Christopher Tully asked people to keep the community in their thoughts and prayers following the tragedy.

"Nothing we could ever do could ease the pain for this family," Tully said. "Yet, we can give them a daily reminder of how much their child was loved and cherished in this home away from home we call school."
