“The driver remained at the scene and was cooperative, stating a group of youths were running toward the bus stop,” police said.
One youth slipped on the sloped sidewalk, which was covered in ice/snow, and slid under the bus between the front and rear tires.
“These types of accidents, especially when a child is injured, affect everyone involved, deeply. The RCMP will provide all available support to anyone requiring it,” Const. Mike Della-Paolera said.
