School officials said a 4-year-old child was hit by a school bus in the Westport neighborhood just off of River Road in Brunswick County.

School officials say they got the call around 3:30 on Friday. Witnesses said the child appeared to lean over to pick up a piece of candy when one of the front tires rolled forward.

The child was transported to New Hanover Regional Medical Center. An update on their condition will be available at a later time.
