Schoolboy trapped in bus doors for 300 metres
Published 2 days, 22 hours ago
Description
A 12-year-old schoolboy was trapped in the back doors of a moving bus in Melbourne, clinging to an internal rail for more than 300 metres with his backpack and arm caught. The boy was forced to lift his legs off the ground to avoid being dragged under the wheels and hitting parked cars before the driver realised what was happening at the next bus stop. While he escaped with minor physical injuries, he is now suffering anxiety and PTSD, with his family calling for greater safety measures and questioning why door sensors failed to alert the driver.
