SINGAPORE: A 12-year-old student was taken to the hospital on Tuesday (Apr 16) after a car hit her at a pedestrian crossing outside Bukit View Secondary School. 

The police were alerted to the accident involving a car and a pedestrian along Bukit Batok Street 21 towards Bukit Batok Central at about 7.05am on Tuesday, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) said in response to CNA's queries.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) also told CNA it was alerted to a traffic accident along the same street at about 7.10am.

The girl was taken conscious to the National University Hospital.

She has since been discharged from hospital, said Bukit View Secondary School's principal Jaswant Singh on Tuesday afternoon.

"We are in touch with the student and her family to provide the necessary support," he added.

A 50-year-old male car driver is assisting with police investigations, the police said, adding that investigations are ongoing.

In a video uploaded by Facebook page SG Road Vigilante, the girl is seen running across the pedestrian crossing as a traffic warden waves for vehicles to stop.

A white Honda Vezel did not stop and hit the girl. In the footage, the girl is seen flying forward due to the impact.
