A collision sent a vehicle crashing through a Hamilton bus shelter Thursday evening, leaving a 12-year-old boy with life-threatening injuries.
The boy was struck while waiting in a bus shelter on Queenston Rd. with his mother and two sisters, who are ten and nine.
The incident occurred just before 6 p.m. in the area of Grays Rd. and Hwy 8 in Stoney Creek.
A westbound Hyundai being operated by a 26-year-old Hamilton male was struck by a Honda Civic that was making a left turn onto Grays. The collision sent the Hyundai onto the sidewalk and into an HSR bus shelter, where it hit the 12-year-old boy.
Police say “the injuries were believed to be life-threatening at the scene and the 12-year-old was rushed to hospital.” The boy’s injuries have since been upgraded to stable, and he is expected to recover.
