Pedestrian Loses Legs in Chinatown Bus Accident

A 92 year-old woman was struck and injured by a bus in Chinatown.

The Post reports that the woman had been walking west on Canal Street when a New Century bus hit her when it was turning onto Forsyth.

It dragged her halfway down the block before passers-by could flag down the driver.

"The light was green," said the driver, who gave his name only as Gao. "There were no people. "

The woman regained consciousness at Bellevue Hospital, but doctors could not save her legs.

The driver was not charged, but the Post points out that Philadelphia-based New Century only scored 43 out of 100 on federal safety tests.
