A 15-year-old boy was one of two pedestrians struck by vehicles within an hour of one another in downtown Ottawa on Thursday afternoon.
CFRA Ottawa tweeted that the boy was transported to hospital in serious condition after being knocked off his bike around 3:30 p.m. He was reportedly not wearing a helmet.
The boy had a seizure and was briefly unconscious after the crash, according to the Ottawa Citizen. Paramedics say the boy's condition is serious, although his head injuries make diagnosis more difficult.
Police are investigating the collision.
The other collision happened earlier at the corner of Bank and Albert streets, and snarled traffic for more than an hour. Police said one person suffered minor injuries.
A witness quoted by CBC Ottawa said an OC Transpo bus had driven over a woman’s foot.
