· The GleanerA female student at Irwin High School in St James is in critical condition at the Cornwall Regional Hospital after being struck by a Montego Bay Metro bus outside the institution's compound on Wednesday afternoon.
The student is said to be in grade seven.
“A student was hit down by the bus and they rushed to get them to the hospital. The principal just called to advise me, but it just happened. I know that they went to the hospital, but I have not heard any other details since then. I am awaiting some updates before I can say anything else,” chairman of the school board, Nevin Nish, told The Gleaner in an interview.
“The child is at the hospital in critical condition. The principal is in touch with the family. That is as much as we know right now. We just did everything quickly to see if we can get the child medical attention right away so that's it for now,” he added.
