MARIETTA, Ga. -- Police have charged an 82-year-old woman in the death of a 5-year-old girl who was hit by a car moment after stepping off a school bus.
The driver of the car, Edith Anderson, was not injured in the wreck.
Cobb police spokesman Joe Hernandez said Karla Campos was taken to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Scottish Rite Hospital, where she died later.
Cobb County schools spokesman Jay Dillon said the Mountain View Elementary kindergartner got off the bus at a curb Wednesday afternoon.
Hernandez said a car behind the bus continued on the right side, running onto the curb and into the grass. The car hit Karla as her mother and two younger siblings watched.
Investigators said Anderson had tried to step on the brake and instead stepped on the accelerator when she approached the school bus and stopped cars behind it. They said she swerved around the vehicles, and up on the sidewalk where she hit little Karla Campos.

So who was it that was arguing with me about how the 89 year old man that killed 10 people shouldn't be charged or serve time? I can't find that thread, the guys name was George R. Weller.
