North Port, Florida -- A 13-year-old boy was flown to All Children's Hospital Friday morning after he was hit by a car while trying to get to his bus stop.

A witness told North Port Police Brandon Robinette did not appear to see oncoming traffic when he crossed Chamberlain Boulevard heading east around 8:55 a.m. 

34-year-old Michael Thomas, who was driving a 2006 Dodge Charger, tried to swerve out of the way but was not able to avoid Robinette. 

He was flown to All Children's Hospital for a serious injury to his left leg just above his ankle. He was reported to be in stable condition.
