‘We feared for his life’: 5-year-old hit by car trying to catch school bus in Montreal

‘We feared for his life’: 5-year-old hit by car trying to catch school bus in Montreal

Global News
Monday, September 9, 2024 9:14 PM GMT

Montreal police are calling for vigilance after a five-year-old boy was struck by a car while trying to catch the bus, the latest in a string of similar incidents.

The calls to police came in at around 8 a.m. on Monday after a five-year-old boy and his grandfather were hit by a car while trying to catch the boy’s school bus.

“At first, we feared for the life of the five-year-old, but medical authorities told us (he’s out of) danger — several injuries but no danger to his life,” said Anthony Dorélas, Montreal police spokesperson.

Police say the boy and his 63-year-old grandfather were waiting for the school bus on 81st Avenue, in Pointe-aux-Trembles.

According to neighbours, as the bus drew closer, the two realized they were waiting for it on the wrong side of the street.

As they attempted to cross the street, not at an intersection, a car hit them.

“The little kid was crying so I went down (my front steps) and there was a lot of people and I called 911,” said Daniel Ricard, a neighbour who heard the impact of the collision from inside his home.

Police say the driver, a 34-year-old woman, was transported to hospital for nervous shock.

Witnesses say two children were in the car when the collision occurred.
