Woodside teen dies after opening up bus roof hatch, striking head
Fort Lee, NJ. A 16-year-old Woodside, Queens, boy riding on a double decker bus packed full of teenagers celebrating a Sweet 16 party died tonight after opening up the vehicle’s roof hatch and striking his head on an underpass as the vehicle drove west along Interstate 95 in Fort Lee, a Port Authority official said.
The teenager, identified as Daniel Fernandez, struck his head on the underside of the Fletcher Avenue overpass as the doubledecker bus drove westbound after just having crossed into New Jersey from the top level of the George Washington Bridge, officials said.

Shame he wasn’t more headstrong
@Ruben: uugghh… too soon.
Ruben seriously you have issues.. Why would you write that?? SAD
Hey, it IS sad but it’s also incredibly stupid and could have been avoided. At 16 I knew not to open up an emergency hatch and stick my head out of a bus. I feel sorry for the parents who now have to deal with the pain of a stupid decision made by their son.
Why feed the troll?
Terrible tragedy and prayers for the family.
Very unfortunate and sad situation that could have been avoided. I can only feel for the family that must wonder “why?” for a long, long time.
I agree with Ruben. Natural selection at work. Opening a hatch on a moving bus and sticking your head out? Seriously??
This is a terrible tragedy and I can imagine what the parents and friends must be going through.
5 foot gremlin can you make it anymore obvious that your Ruben .. I have one word SAD …
Ruben’s mom should have thrown him out with the bath water and kept the story.
Kept the stork
Gremlin is not me, If I wanna say something I’ll say it on my name, I have not been shy so why would I need to support myself? ridiculous statement. Just realize that people in this world think differently than you. Sorry if I don’t get all emotional for every kid that does something stupid that gets himself kid if I did I would never leave the house. That grief is reserved for his parents. For people like ME its a reminder to make sure my kid doesn’t do stupid things.
So it is sooooooo funny when an idiot biker goes agents traffic and get hit by a car (thank you lord he is not dead.) This is not really that different. Think about then you poke jokes next time about anyone if you going to criticize some one else and pointing fingers.
Its sad that this kid lost his life do to his idiocy. Where were his friends to tell him that is dumb.
@ Ruben , Do u have any Manners or I suppose u were dragged up by your own dumb parents ! What you have said in here is far dumber than any Kid sticking his head out of a window ! Didnt your Parents correct you whenever you made Dumb Jokes .I guess not .
My original comment was me expressing my disappointment that he will never be the head of a major corporation.
Too funny Ruben , but you are too young to realize is ” What Goes around Comes around ” and also ” Mocking is Catching “…Wishing you all the Best !!!
