Lexington police were called to Briar Hill Road at about 7:25 a.m. Fayette County Public Schools spokesperson Miranda Scully confirmed the student was on the way to a bus stop when they were hit. Police later said the bus’s stop arm was not extended at the time of the collision.

The investigation is ongoing. Police do not expect to file criminal charges at this time, according to the information released about the case. Authorities have not publicly identified the student or provided further details about their condition.

The crash marks the second time this school year that a student has been hit at a bus stop in central Kentucky. A Kentucky law that took effect in July increased fines for drivers who fail to stop when a school bus’s stop arm is extended: $300 for a first offense and $500 for later offenses. It also allows school districts to install cameras to help identify violators.

State Rep. Chad Aull, a Lexington Democrat who co-sponsored the law, called the latest incident tragic and avoidable. He said he believes tougher penalties and greater awareness could help prevent future crashes, and urged school districts to consider using cameras.
