The crash occurred between the school bus and a pedestrian about 6:09 a.m. near the intersection of Pearblossom Highway and 123rd Street East in an unincorporated area of Southeast Antelope Valley, according to the California Highway Patrols’ traffic incident log.

The CHP initially indicated the victim was a student, but later updated the log to say pedestrian.

The pedestrian was down and an ambulance had been requested, according to the CHP.

Officials had planned to airlift the patient, but the helicopter could not get to the location due to weather issues, Los Angeles County Fire Department Supervisor Ornelas said.

The condition and age of the victim was unknown.
