SC students trying to get on school bus struck

GAFFNEY, S.C. (AP) - Two South Carolina school children were treated at a hospital after they were hit by a car during their morning walk to the school bus.
    WHNS-TV reported on its Web site Friday that a 5-year-old was crossing the road in Gaffney to get on a stopped bus that had its lights flashing when he was hit Thursday morning.
    Cherokee County School District officials say a second child’s backpack was knocked down after being hit by the car’s mirror.
    Both children were treated and released at a hospital. The South Carolina Highway Patrol says the driver, 15-year-old Christopher Mauney, has been charged with disregarding a stopped school bus.
