A 12-year-old boy was seriously injured after he was hit by a city bus in south Kelowna yesterday afternoon.

The accident happened in the Crawford area at the corner of Steele Court and Arbour View Drive at around 3:30 p.m. yesterday, Feb. 28, according to an RCMP media release.

“The driver remained at the scene and was cooperative, stating a group of youths were running toward the bus stop,” the release says. “The one youth slipped on the slopped sidewalk, which was covered in ice/snow and slid under the bus between the front and rear tires."

RCMP said support will be provided to anyone requiring it.

“These types of accidents, especially when a child is injured affect everyone involved, deeply,” Kelowna RCMP spokesperson Const. Mike Della-Paolera said in the release.
