NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — A North Adams Public Schools student was sent to the hospital with minor injuries after being hit by a bicyclist at a bus stop.

According to police, the incident happened around 8:14 Friday morning near the intersection of Hudson Street and Eagle Street.

An adult was riding a bicycle southbound on Eagle Street down a steep decline. The bicycle's brakes were not working, and the rider was unable to stop.

A group of children was waiting for the school bus at the intersection when the bicyclist struck one of the students.
