THE TEENAGE schoolboy who was rushed to hospital with life-threatening head injuries following a collision with a bus is off the danger list, doctors say.

Carter Community School pupil Michael Baxter, aged 14, is currently in a stable condition, making good progress, at Southampton General Hospital.

The Hamworthy teen was rushed to the hospital’s paediatric intensive care unit after colliding with the single-decker Wilts and Dorset bus in Blandford Road, Hamworthy, Poole, on Tuesday (Sept 27) at 5pm.

He suffered a fractured skull in the collision, was unconscious at the scene, and his condition until today was categorised as life-threatening but stable.

Police are still eager to speak to anyone who witnessed the collision, or who saw Michael or the bus in the moments before the incident.
