Two boys were hurt in accidents this morning in Brooklyn, authorities said.
In Bath Beach, a 12-year-old boy was hit by a car on Bath Avenue and 24th Street at 7:45 a.m., according to an FDNY spokesman. He suffered head trauma, and will be treated at Lutheran Hospital. He is expected to survive.
Another 12-year-old boy was hit by a private religious school bus while riding his park in Borough Park about 7:45 a.m. on 12th Avenue and 40th Street, cops said. Witnesses said he was struck by the rear tire while the bus was making a wide turn.
She Rosenbaum, 38, said the child stopped in his store to buy a soda before the accident, and then got on the bicycle.
I saw the kid’s leg under the bus. I called the Hatzollah ambulance,” said She Rosenabum, 38. “He was screaming and yelling in pain.”
Rosenbaum said the child’s mother came to see him, and was distraught. “She was definitely crying ‘what happened? What’s going to be? I want you to live’,” he said. “He comes here every morning.”
It was not immediately clear if there was any criminality in the accidents.
