PUTRAJAYA: A 12-year-old boy was badly injured after falling off a bus when the emergency door accidentally opened during a field trip.
In the 9am incident yesterday, Hwo Hsien Hwang is believed to be leaning against the door at the back of the schoolbus.
Hsien Hwang, who recently sat for the UPSR exam at SRJK (C) Chin Ming in Tangkak, Johor, was thrown on the road as the door opened at Precinct 12. The bus driver stopped after the other children alerted him.
An ambulance took Hsien Hwang to Putrajaya Hospital where he was warded in the Intensive Care Unit. It is learnt that he broke both his arms and legs.
Hsien Hwang was with 78 students and seven teachers in two buses visiting Kuala Lumpur, Pulau Pangkor, Cameron Highlands and Genting Highlands.
Bus driver Mohd Isa Moh said he believed that Hsien Hwang was playing with the emergency door as the safety latch was unlocked. --- The Star News
