A teenager headed to a Sweet 16 party was killed after he stuck his
head out of the emergency hatch of a double-decker bus and hit the
underside of a highway overpass, police said.
Daniel Fernandez, of Sayreville, N.J., was among 65 teens aboard the
bus Friday night as it crossed the George Washington Bridge from New
York City, said Port Authority of New York and New Jersey police. The
16-year-old was pronounced dead at a hospital
Alex Franco, a security guard on the bus, told the Daily News that he had warned the teens to leave the hatch alone.
"I told them not to open the hatch, like three or four times, but kids, they don't understand," he said.
Franco said he went downstairs to tell the driver that it was getting too hot.
"It was very hot. Everybody was dancing. Two, five minutes I was
downstairs," he said. "Then I heard two guys screaming, `Oh, my God, oh,
my God."'
Poor kid. Too much partying will make you lose your head... literally.
