A teenager died after walking in front of a bus while distracted by her mobile phone.
Sian Ellis, 15, suffered fatal injuries when she was hit by a red double-decker Volvo bus outside her school in Leicestershire on 28 January, 2019.
Driver Michael John Parker had no valid licence or insurance and only had a provisional driving licence.
The 62-year-old, of Baker Street, was fined £120 and handed a four-year driving ban at Leicester Magistrates’ Court in September, after pleading guilty to several driving offences.
Detective Constable John Borlase, of the force’s serious collision investigation unit, said Parker had not been charged with death by dangerous driving because “there was no carelessness in his driving that actually caused the collision”.
An inquest at Loughborough Coroner’s Court has concluded Sian died as a result of a “road traffic collision”.
