He was accidentally killed.”Aiden Clark died in August 2023 when a minivan driven by a Haitian immigrant, Hermanio Joseph, hit the bus he was in. Joseph was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter and vehicular homicide and sentenced to nine to 13 years in prison. Credit: City of Springfield via Storyful
