Bus crash in north Manchester leaves seven year old with life changing injuries

A seven-year-old boy is in hospital with "life changing" injuries after being hit by a bus in north Manchester.

Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said it was investigating the collision which occurred at 6.20pm on Saturday in Moston Lane East in the Failsworth area.

The bus had been travelling before colliding with the pedestrian, police said.

GMP said the boy "sustained serious injuries" and remained in hospital on Sunday, adding that his injuries "are described as life changing but not believed to be life-threatening".

No injuries were reported by anyone on the bus, police said.

Transport for Greater Manchester chief network officer Danny Vaughan said: "We are aware of an incident last night involving a young child and a bus.

"Our thoughts are with the young boy involved and we wish him a speedy recovery.

"We are working closely with the bus operator and supporting police with their inquiries."
