A 14-year-old girl was rushed to hospital after being struck by a transit bus during the morning rush at a busy intersection in the Woodbridge area in Vaughan.

York Regional Police said they were called to Highway 7 and Weston Road at around 7:55 a.m. after a pedestrian was struck by a bus.

Police initially said the pedestrian suffered life-threatening injuries. However they later said her injuries appeared to be minor.

It's not yet clear exactly how the girl was struck.
