A young boy has been seriously injured after he was hit by a tram.

Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said the incident took place at Crossacres tram stop in Wythenshawe in the south of Manchester

A GMP spokesman said the boy was taken to hospital with "life-changing and potentially life-threatening injuries".

Trams to Manchester Airport have been suspended while the emergency services investigate.

Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM▸ (Transport for Greater Manchester. Devolved body responsible for public transport coordination in the Greater Manchester metropolitan area.)) said tickets and passes are being accepted on the 23, 25, 41, 43, 85A, 101, 103, 248, 249 and 368 bus services and Heavy Rail between Manchester Airport - City Centre.

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post (a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London), depending on context) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.
