A child was hit by a New Jersey Transit bus at the intersection of 6th Street and Market Streets in Old City. The accident occurred at about 9:09 am on a Monday morning. Though limited information is known and police continue to investigate, initial reports indicate that the bus was on the 317 line and had just left from 6th and Race Street to start the run. At that time, it collided with the child.
A bus striking anyone can be devastating, and it is only made worse when it is a child, for families of children hurt in any type of motor vehicle accident.

Limited Information Is Available on the Child
The NJ Transit only stated that the transit bus “made contact” with the child at the intersection. There was no insight into if the child was in the crosswalk crossing the street or how the child was hit. That child was taken to the hospital and suffered injuries requiring hospitalization. They did not provide any details on the child’s current condition.
