Woman critically injured after being hit by Pittsburgh Regional Transit bus
A woman was critically injured after she was hit by the driver of a Pittsburgh Regional Transit bus in the city's Oakland neighborhood on Monday night.
A spokesperson for Pittsburgh Regional Transit said the driver of the bus was turning left from Neville Street onto Fifth Avenue when they struck a pedestrian around 7 p.m. The woman was taken to a local hospital and was last listed in critical but stable condition, the spokesperson said, adding that the victim is in her late 20s.
"I heard very loud guttural screams that were clearly female," Carnegie Mellon University student Hailey Price said. "Again, I didn't think anything of it because there is often loud noises in the area around this time of night. Then, a couple minutes later, I started to hear loud engines, loud sirens."
Allegheny County 911 said the crash happened around 7 p.m. No other information was immediately released on Monday night. Port Authority police are leading the investigation.
