A woman who lived nearby said, "There was a background noise while a part of the valley slid on the hill. This poor boy was hit hard, he had no chance. It was an abnormal accident. If he had stayed in the bus, he would have been fine.
Sharpling's girlfriend wrote on Facebook: "I lost the love of my life. That's all I've been wanting forever and you've unfortunately been taken away from you and your family by a terrible accident tonight. I want you to know that I will always love you forever and always.
