A bus in the UK has hit a seven-year-old schoolgirl whilst on its way to carry out a routine service. The young victim, who was walking to school with her older brother, was hit by the single-decker bus on Monday morning in Essex.

The accident caused a road closure and the young girl was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital. She is currently being treated for injuries to her legs, though her condition is described as stable. The bus driver was understandably shaken by the incident but, fortunately, did not suffer any physical injuries.

According to reports, the accident took place at approximately 8:30 am on Monday. Police are currently investigating the incident and have appealed for witnesses to come forward. The road remained closed for some time to allow for the investigation to take place and for the bus to be removed from the scene.

Incidents of this kind are a stark reminder of the potential dangers faced by people every day. Children walking to and from school are particularly vulnerable, as drivers may not always be aware of their presence. Road safety campaigns have long called for greater vigilance on the part of drivers, particularly when driving near schools and residential areas.

As the investigation into this latest accident continues, local parents and community members have expressed their shock and concern. Alongside the police, they too have issued a plea for anyone with information about the incident to come forward.

What is certain is that this young girl will have a long road to recovery ahead of her. As she fights to regain her health, her family and the wider community will come together to support her and pray for her recovery.
