Sure, the bus had his hazard lights on so here you are allowed to pass the bus with walking speed (busses here don't have a "stop arm" like school busses in the US). Yet, the transporter hit the kid with ~20mph as it ran across the street in front of the bus.
sure, the kid passed the street without looking
sure, the driver of the car was way to fast to react to something he wasnt able to see in time. that's why he was also sued for involuntary manslaughter
nevertheless, there were to options to prevent the kid from dying. one was a driver less stupid and the other was a kid teached not to trust in the sanity of car drivers

The kid never looked for traffic on either side and just ran infront of the buss. A passing car would never had any chance to react.
Edit: In my profession I do risk assesments and investigate accidents.
