A motorcyclist hit and injured a 10-year-old boy that was leaving a school bus and crossing the street Thursday in Lake Stevens.
The bus had been stopped with red lights activated, releasing students. Traffic was stopped in both directions, according to Lake Stevens Police.
The motorcyclist saw an officer and took off at a high speed, according to police. The motorcyclist struck the student, continued a few feet up the roadway, and crashed.
The student was taken to Providence Hospital in Everett with non-life threatening injuries. A Lake Stevens officer at the scene says the family is in high spirits and the boy is expected to return to school on Friday.
The motorcyclist was taken into custody and also taken to the hospital to be treated for injuries.
