HURRICANE, Utah — An 11-year-old Hurricane girl is in stable condition at a Salt Lake City hospital with a head injury after being struck by a school bus on Friday.
The Hurricane City Police Department said the Hurricane Intermediate School student was running across the road in the area of 700 West and 1000 South at approximately 11:30 a.m. when they were hit by a Washington County School District bus.
First responders were able to provide care on the scene and then transported the child, identified by her family as Ava White, to the hospital with a possible head injury.
White was then airlifted to Primary Children's Hospital where she is being treated for several serious injuries, including a brain bleed, skull fracture, broken collar bone and ribs and bruised lungs.
Ava's mother told FOX 13 News that doctors have removed her daughter's breathing and she is breathing well on her own with the help of oxygen.
The bus that hit the student had other children on board, but no one else was injured during the incident.
The family has posted a GoFundMe to help pay for Ava's medical expenses, which can be found here.
The accident is currently under investigation.
