A Bullard Middle School student escaped serious injury after he was stuck by a vehicle according to Bullard Police Sgt. John Walker.

Bullard police responded to an emergency call at about 3 p.m. Friday, Sept. 25, in the Bullard Middle School parking lot. A 14- year-old Bullard student was standing behind a vehicle following a pep rally and was reportedly talking to someone inside the vehicle when another vehicle struck him while the driver backed up.

Walker said the moving vehicle grazed the student, who was transferred to Mother Francis Hospital in Tyler. He suffered minor injures to his legs. No other injuries were reported and the driver was not cited for any violation.
