Traffic ground to a halt on the A390 at Trafalgar roundabout, Truro, at just after 3.30pm today after a Penair School student was hit by a car while riding his bike.
An ambulance arrived at the scene almost immediately and the pupil, believed to be a boy in Year 8 at the Truro secondary school, was treated at the scene before being taken to hospital.
When asked if the boy had been hit by a car, a Penair teacher responded that there had been “an incident”.
Witnesses told Cornwall Live they saw the pupil cycling from Penair School at a considerable rate.
A spokesman from South Western Ambulance Service said: "A male patient was transported by ambulance to the Royal Cornwall Hospital at Treliske. His injuries are not thought to be serious."
There have been several incidents on roads across Truro today, including two crashes on the A30, an A38 collision and a crash between a lorry and a car in Truro.
