A schoolboy is in serious condition after he was struck by a bus while riding his bicycle.

The nine-year-old was riding his bike in Kilmarnock, Ayrshire, around 11.45 am Sunday when he was hit by a passing bus.

He’s been rushed to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow in a serious condition.

Anyone with information has been urged to come forward to police.

Sergeant Brian Simpson said: ‘Our enquiries are continuing to establish the full circumstances of this incident. I would urge any witnesses or anyone with information to contact us.

‘Drivers with dash-cam who were on this road around the time of the crash are asked to review their footage and please contact us if it holds anything relevant.’

Last year, an 11-year-old boy died four days after he was hit by a car near his school gates.

He was taken to Alder Hey Hospital for treatment for serious injuries following the incident but later succumbed to his injuries.

A 28-year-old woman was driving the car and was left uninjured and no arrests have been made.
