SEPTA Bus Accident Kills A Man In Delaware County, Pennsylvania
Last evening In Upper Darby, Delaware County, a Route 113 SEPTA bus accident occurred where the bus struck a man in the Darby Loop located at 9th and Main Streets. It appears the man was in full, unobstructed view of the SEPTA bus driver at the time the accident occurred. Nonetheless, for reasons unknown at this time, the SEPTA bus driver struck and killed the victim, allegedly making contact with the man with both front tires.
SEPTA's spokesman, Richard Maloney, was on the scene and gave a statement that SEPTA investigators "We're told by witnesses, preliminarily, that the victim was talking on his cell phone as he was walking and he turned around to talk to people behind him. Unknowingly he walked right in front of the bus," However, other witnesses told a different story. Thomas Carroll told Fox 29 news, ""He wasn't walking. He was standing there and talking on the phone. And when the bus turned, it hit him, 'BOOM!' He wasn't walking. He was not walking,"
Others on the scene complained about the general driving attitude of SEPTA drivers and the manner in which they operate their vehicles. This is a common complaint I hear weekly from current and perspective clients who are injured in incidents involving a SEPTA bus or a SEPTA trolley.
