A Traverse City mom is suing Traverse City Area Public Schools and others after her 8-year-old son was hit and killed at a bus stop back in September.
Jayson “JJ” Hoogeveen was waiting for the bus on his first day back to school when he was hit and killed by a truck.
The lawsuit alleges that TCAPS, various school officials and the owners of the subdivision knew the bus stop where j-j was unsafe and even had a new safer stop approved, but the relocation was not completed as planned.
