A terrified schoolboy is pulled kicking and screaming 150 metres down a road in this shocking video.
Lee Huckle, 11, got his bag caught on the double decker bus as he got off and started to walk home after finishing school at 3.30pm.
Mum Rachel, 34, claims the driver failed properly check and continued his usual route, oblivious to the fact he was dragging the petrified boy down the road.
However the driver’s employer, Stagecoach, strongly deny that this happened and that no blame can be apportioned to the driver.
Mrs Huckle, a mother-of-four said: “As Lee was walking down the side of the bus, his bag got caught on the right-hand side of the bus, near the cooler.
“He was dragged around 150m, just hanging on by his bag. He was bounced from side to side causing injuries to his hips and legs.”
Zoe Paget, operations director at Stagecoach East, said: “The boy alighted from the bus at Heacham Fox and Hounds pub and was walking down the side of the bus swinging his school bag.
“The strap of his bag got caught on a hinge of the bus and the student was dragged for a short distance until the driver, who had been checking in his offside mirror whilst moving off, spotted him and stopped the bus immediately and called emergency services.
“The driver waited at the scene until the emergency services instructed him to continue his journey to take the remaining students home. The boy was treated for grazes before being allowed home y the ambulance service.
“Safety is our absolute number one priority. The driver was subsequently interviewed by the police and no blame has been attribute towards him.”
Police say they are investigating the incident.
