Elementary student struck by motorcyclist passing stopped Edina school bus
The bus had its stop arm out and lights flashing, police say.
An elementary school student was struck by a motorcyclist who passed a stopped Edina school bus on Monday afternoon.
Edina Police Department says the incident happened at West 55th Street and Xerxes Avenue South at 2:44 p.m.
The southbound school bus was stopped at the intersection with its stop arm out and its flashing lights operating.
A motorcyclist heading the same direction then overtook the bus, entering the northbound lane to do so, and then struck a boy who was crossing the road.
The boy was taken to a local hospital with "significant but non-life-threatening injuries."
The motorcyclist has been arrested.
It is illegal in Minnesota to pass a school bus with its stop arm out and its red lights flashing.
