A 10-year-old Vermont boy has been taken to The Royal Children’s Hospital after he was hit by a car on his way to school.

The schoolboy reportedly got off a bus at a bus stop on Boronia Rd near the intersection of Canterbury Rd, before he ran across the service lane into the path of a car.

He was struck by a Toyota Corolla driven by a 22-year-old Ferntree Gully woman.

Sgt Webb said the incident was low-impact because the driver was going at a slow speed in the service lane when she saw the boy and began braking.

He said the driver would not be charged because she was not at fault.
