NORTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) – Rescue crews rushed a child to the hospital after the young victim was struck by a school bus in Northwest Miami-Dade, officials said.<\/p>\n
Surveillance video captured the moment the child was struck just feet from a county bus depot, at around 7 a.m. on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The footage shows the victim in the top right corner of the frame riding their scooter along the sidewalk when the collision occurred.<\/p>\n
The camera glitches for a few seconds, and then moments later the child is seen limping away from the bus along 27th Avenue.<\/p>\n
Nelson, a bystander, saw the child on the ground and ran across the street to help. <\/p>\n
\u201cI just saw him and I asked him if he needed something, he told me his phone didn\u2019t have service so I tried contacting one of his family members,\u201d said the good Samaritan. <\/p>\n
That child was rushed to Jackson Memorial Hospital as a trauma alert, but Miami-Dade Sheriff\u2019s Office deputies later said the boy was not injured. <\/p>\n
\u201cHe seemed OK. He was talking,\u201d said Nelson. <\/p>\n
The good Samaritan said the intersection is problematic. <\/p>\n
\u201cThere should be a light there,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
Nelson added how he believed the crash occurred.<\/p>\n
\u201cMost of the time people look to the left and don\u2019t look back to the right and that\u2019s when people be crossing the street,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
Miami-Dade Public Schools told 7News that no students were on that bus, just the driver.<\/p>\n
The Miami-Dade Sheriff\u2019s Office is now leading the ongoing investigation.<\/p>\n
