School bus runs over 12-year-old boy in River Falls

RIVER FALLS (WXOW) -- A 12-year-old boy is in fair condition after being run over by a school bus in River Falls last week.

Police Sgt. Jon Aubart tells the St. Paul Pioneer Press that Jacob Wheeler was crossing a street shortly before 5 p.m. on Friday when the bus turned left and struck the boy.

Aubart says the bus knocked Jacob to the ground and the rear wheels ran over his legs.

No children were on the bus. The driver was not cited.

A hospital spokeswoman says Jacob is in fair condition Monday at Gillette Children's Specialty Healthcare in St. Paul.
