PORTLAND, Ore. (KMTR) -- An 11-year-old girl was killed Saturday night when she fell out of a window on a party bus as it made a turn.

Family and friends were on a party bus operated by Five Star Limousine when Angie Hernandez leaned against an emergency window and fell out, said Lieutenant Robert King with Portland Police Bureau.

The group was celebrating a Quinceanera, which is a Latin celebration for when a girl turns fifteen.

This happened about 6:30 PM Saturday as the bus was making a turn from Southwest 1st Avenue onto Southwest Harrison Street. Hernandez died from her injuries.

Lieutenant  King said there's no indication alcohol was involved and he called the incident a tragic accident. 

Rick Lycksell, general manager of Five Star Limousine, said nothing like this has ever happened with his company. He mentioned the driver had a perfect record while working for them during the past five years.

"He burst into tears. He was very upset - he has a little girl that's 10 years old," Lyskell said about the driver.
