Police responded to Bedford Ave and Farragut Road, in Flatbush, just before 8:30 a.m. for reports of a vehicle collision.
It appears that a 66-year-old man was operating a yellow school bus when he struck a 43-year-old woman and and 8-year-old boy.
The operator told police he was traveling west on Farragut Road, making a turn onto northbound Bedford Avenue, when he hit the gas instead of the brakes, jumped the curb and struck the pedestrians before smashing into a fence.
The school bus remained on scene and the driver refused medical attention.
The two pedestrians were taken to Maimonides Medical Center where they're expected to survive. The woman complained of pain to her neck and hip and the boy suffered a broken arm.
No charges were immediately filed against the bus driver and it appears to be an accident, police said.
The investigation is ongoing.
