Emergency crews responded to a report of a child struck by a vehicle in the area of Pleasant St. around 3:41 p.m., according to the Worcester Police Department.
Investigators say he was getting off his school bus and trying to cross the street when the crash happened.
“It always stops right by there and drops the kids off,” neighbor Tony Maliszewsei said. “He was trying to get across the street. The gentleman who lives down the street that’s his grandson.”
