FRAMINGHAM, MASS. (WHDH) - A student was hospitalized after they were struck by a car while trying to board a school bus in Framingham on Wednesday morning.
The student was crossing the road in the area of Beacon and Summer streets when they were struck by a motorist who failed to stop for a school bus that had its stop sign extended, according to the Framingham Police Department.
The child was flown to Boston Children’s Hospital with what police described as “likely non-life-threatening injuries.”
The driver involved in the incident remained at the scene and was issued a citation.
“The bus was waiting for the kid to cross the street, so the kid didn’t get a chance to get all the way across the street before getting hit,” a witness said. “They have those lights flashing to tell people to stop but people don’t stop.”
An investigation remains ongoing.
