Woman, 68, Pedestrian, Killed by East Side Bus

From: New York attorney Gary E. Rosenberg (personal injury and accident attorney and lawyer; serving Brooklyn Queens Bronx) Wednesday afternoon at about 1:45 P.M., Lourdes Fernandez, age 68, was crossing Madison Street in Manhattan, returning from grocery shopping near her lower East Side apartment, when an M22 New York City bus struck and crushed her beneath its rear wheels. The bus drove on as she died from her injuries. According to reports, the driver of the M22 bus did not realize that he had hit Fernandez and drove on, continuing to pick up passengers. Police finally stopped the bus about a mile away, on Chambers St., long after Fernandez had died. The driver was not charged with a crime for this accident.
