Metro told KTLA that one of its 33 Line buses was pulling away from the bus stop when it made contact with the pedestrian. Preliminary reports indicated the person was not in a crosswalk and positioned themself under the bus as it pulled away, the agency said.
@Demibw Buses need to have cameras just like a Waymo.
In was told the person deliberately crawled underneath the bus as the bus was servicing the stop. The Operator never saw the person. 🥺
@superman7830 looks about right. Because the bus is completely in front of the person
I walked past and a store owner nearby said that someone basically threw themselves under a bus as a suicide
No way, I just passed by
RIP To the person that passed away during this event. 🙏🏼🕊🕯👼💐
