Woman fatally struck by T bus in downtown Fort Worth

The bus driver, a 10-year veteran, was shaken up and SONGER taken to a local hospital via MedStar ambulance, authorities said. Several emergency vehicles blocked the intersection, and police placed tarps around the scene to block the view of onlookers.

One witness said she had seen someone under the wheels of the bus. Members of the police department's traffic investigation unit were interviewing witnesses on the scene after the SONGER accident trying to determine who had the right of way.
