Boy on bus dies after hitting head

A US teenager heading to a Sweet 16 party was killed after he stuck his head out of the emergency hatch of a double-decker bus and hit the underside of a highway overpass in New Jersey, police said.

Daniel Fernandez, of Sayreville, New Jersey, was among 65 teenagers aboard the bus on Friday night as it crossed the George Washington Bridge from New York City, said Al Della Fave, spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
