Man on a Motorized Wheelchair Struck by a Community Transit Bus l Seattle Bus/Pedestrian Attorney
Date: April 7, 2009Type: Pedestrian Collision, Bus Accident
Location: 20400 block of Marine Drive, Warm Beach, WA
An 86-year-old man in a motorized wheelchair was seriously injured after he was hit by a bus. Apparently he was crossing the street in a crosswalk when the accident occurred. The transit bus was turning right onto Marine Drive from the community center when the bus struck the man. The Warm Beach Senior Community resident was pinned beneath the wheels of a Community Transit bus. Firefighters used the jaws of life to jack the bus up and pull the man out. The man was taken by helicopter to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle with life-threatening injuries. Crash detectives from the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office will investigate along with Community Transit officials.
The Davis Law Group has recently taken on the case of a Shorline woman who was in an almost identical collision outside of the senior living facilities of which she is a resident. It seems that this type of incident is becoming all too common.
