On Tuesday November 1, 2022, at approximately 3:56 p.m., Brant County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) responded to a police assist call in Mount Pleasant, Brant County.

It was determined a five-year-old child was attempting to get off a school bus when the doors closed, trapping part of the child’s body. The bus travelled 15-20 feet with the child’s legs dangling outside the bus before it stopped. It was reported the child suffered minor injuries.
