MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — A boy who was riding a scooter collided with a school bus Wednesday morning in northwest Miami-Dade, first responders confirmed to Local 10 News.
The crash was reported just before 7:30 a.m. in the area of Northwest 122nd Street and 27th Avenue, near a school bus transportation center.
Surveillance video obtained by Local 10 News shows the bus driver preparing to turn onto 27th Avenue.
The scooter rider and bus driver both stop. But just as the child on the scooter kicked off, the bus rolled forward, colliding with the scooter.
Detective Samantha Choon, with the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office, said the scooter struck the side of the school bus.
The boy was seen limping off the roadway as someone exited the bus to check on him.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue officials told Local 10 that they transported the child to a trauma center after the crash. Choon said the boy was not injured, but was taken to the hospital as a precaution.
According to a nearby business owner, this isn’t the first time an accident has occurred in front of the transportation center, as a scooter was struck by a bus just a couple months ago.
Authorities did not immediately confirm who had the right of way at the time of Wednesday’s collision.
