A child was hit by a bus in Ingersoll

A child was taken to hospital after being hit by a bus in Ingersoll.

In a video posted on Twitter, acting Sgt. Ed Sanchuk said it happened just before 12pm in a parking lot on Centennial Lane near Wellington Street.

Sanchuk said the child was transported to a local hospital with “unidentified injuries”.

“We hope and pray for a quick recovery of this young man,” he said.

Sanchuk said the bus driver remained at the scene and police are continuing the investigation.

He warned drivers to expect an “influx of children” as the school season approaches.

“We have to make sure we turn our heads and always expect the unexpected,” Sanchuk said.
