MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Md. — An 11-year-old girl died Thursday after her bicycle collided with a Montgomery County Public Schools bus, police said.

The collision occurred around 3:13 p.m. near Bauer Drive and Russett Road.

Police said the bus was traveling east on Bauer Drive and turning right onto southbound Russett Road when the collision occurred.

The victim was identified as Summer Lim, a student at Earle B. Wood Middle School. Despite life-saving efforts, she died from her injuries.

The bus was transporting students home from the same school. Neither the bus driver nor the students aboard were injured. Students were transferred to another bus and taken to a reunification site.

The investigation is ongoing and could take several weeks or longer to complete, authorities said.
