an RTA Bus. While this is a terrible tale, it should be mentioned the person hit, was the
driver of the bus as well. At the Detroit turnaround, an RTA Bus driver parked her bus and
was going to take a quick break before heading back down Detroit Avenue, when she noticed
her bus was rolling. In a panic she moved in front of the bus trying to stop it, with no success.
The bus finally ran into a tree pinning the woman between the tree and the bus. When police
and fire answered the call it took nearly 20 minutes just to stabilize the driver, taking her
to Metro General Hospital, where prognosis for keeping her leg and arm seemed 25% at best.
While she is stable, and will survive, it was a terrible scene, here are a couple shots from
after the removal and stabilization.
Good work Lakewood Police and Fire, it was a gruesome scene.
