Tomball Independent School District officials said the boy was on the other side of the street from the school bus and ran across the street to get on the bus.

The boy ran into a car that was headed in the opposite direction of the bus, investigators said.  The boy was taken to Tomball Regional Hospital. His condition has not been released, but officials said his injuries were minor.
