Miami-Dade deputies are investigating a collision involving a child on a scooter and a school bus Wednesday morning in northwest Miami-Dade County, reported Local 10 News.

The crash reportedly occurred shortly before 7:30 a.m. near Northwest 122nd Street, close to a Miami-Dade County Public Schools transportation center.

Surveillance video obtained by local news reporters showed the bus driver preparing to turn onto Northwest 27th Avenue. In the footage, both the scooter rider and the bus appear to stop before the child begins moving forward. The bus then rolls ahead, and the scooter and bus collide.

Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office Detective Samantha Choon said via the report that the scooter struck the side of the bus. Video from the scene showed the boy limping away from the roadway after the crash as an individual exited the bus to check on him.

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue reportedly transported the child to a trauma center for evaluation. Choon said the boy did not appear to suffer injuries but was taken to the hospital as a precaution.

Miami-Dade County Public Schools said no students were aboard the bus at the time of the collision. Authorities have not determined who had the right of way when the crash occurred, and the investigation remains ongoing.
