On Sept. 22, a person ran after a bus while it was pulling away from the stop on Rhine Street, city officials said on social media Wednesday.
The person ran into a signpost and fell into the road, where she was hit by the bus, officials say. She later died of her injuries.
The victim was identified as 50-year-old Dana Fountain of Spring Hill.
Collision investigators did a site visit after the crash and developed these action items:
- Working with PRT on a communications plan to educate bus riders on the dangers of chasing the bus.
- Reinstalling the ‘STOP’ sign so that it is above the bus stop sign for visibility.
