DOVER, DE – Delaware State Police have identified 14-year-old Reis Yoc-Santos, of Dover, as the teenager who died following a fatal crash involving a school bus and an electric bicycle on Friday afternoon.
The incident occurred on September 12, 2025, around 4:00 p.m., as a school bus was traveling eastbound on West Lebanon Road near the intersection with Royal Grant Way. The bus moved into the right-turn lane to turn onto Royal Grant Way while an electric bicycle, traveling on the adjacent paved sidewalk, continued eastbound without stopping at a posted bicycle stop sign at the intersection.
As the bus turned, the e-bike entered the intersection and struck the passenger side of the bus.
Yoc-Santos, believed to be the passenger on the e-bike, was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced deceased. The 16-year-old operator of the e-bike, from Camden, Delaware, sustained serious injuries. Neither individual was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash.
The bus driver, a 75-year-old man from Magnolia, was not injured. The bus, operated by the Caesar Rodney School District, was transporting 21 elementary-aged students, none of whom were injured.
The roadway remained closed for approximately four hours while the Delaware State Police Troop 3 Collision Reconstruction Unit investigated and cleared the scene.
The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information or who witnessed the crash is asked to contact Master Corporal W. Booth at (302) 698-8451. Tips may also be submitted via private message to the Delaware State Police Facebook page or to Delaware Crime Stoppers at 1-800-847-3333.
