A 5-year-old was hit by an oncoming car when he tried to cross the road to get on a school bus on Thursday morning, the South Carolina Highway Patrol said.

Troopers said that the boy was crossing the southbound lane of Filter Plant Road to board the stopped bus. They said that the bus had its stop-arm out and lights flashing. They said that another car, driven by 15-year-old Christopher Mauney, hit the child.

Cherokee County School District officials said that a second child's backpack was hit by the car's mirror and was knocked down.

Mauney was charged with disregarding a stopped school bus.

Both children were taken to Upstate Carolina Medical Center, where they were treated for minor injuries and released.
