Boston Public Schools identified the bus driver as Jean Charles. Charles had an expired school bus certification at the time of the crash and resigned on Wednesday ahead of a scheduled termination. In a statement, a Boston Public Schools spokesperson said:

Lens Arthur Joseph, 5, was struck by a Boston Public Schools bus near 107 Washington St. at around 2:44 p.m. on April 28. The child later died at the hospital that day. The bus driver behind the wheel at the time was immediately placed on leave following the crash, according to a Boston Public Schools spokesperson.

The bus driver accused of hitting and killing a 5-year-old Boston boy in April has resigned, NewsCenter 5 has learned. The driver, who WCVB is not identifying, had previously been put on administrative leave after the Hyde Park crash on Washington Street in front of the boy's home.
