BC Transit Bus Hits Woman on Main Street in Binghamton

A pedestrian sustained possible head and back injuries when she was struck by a bus at a busy downtown Binghamton intersection.

The incident occurred around 2:50 p.m. Wednesday at Main and Front streets.

Police and witnesses said a BC Transit bus hit the woman as she was walking north across Main Street.

A video recording from a camera mounted at the intersection apparently showed the bus had the right-of-way at the time. But a witness told WNBF News she believed the woman who was in the crosswalk at the time had the right-of-way.

The 74-year-old woman who was using a cane as she walked told bystanders she had recently had a hip replacement procedure.

Three passengers were on the bus at the time of the incident.

A section of Main Street were closed while medics tended to the injured woman and police interviewed witnesses, including those who were on the bus. The woman was taken by Superior ambulance to Wilson Medical Center in Johnson City. Her injuries were not believed to be serious.

BC Transit representatives responded to the scene of the incident.
