A Houston man has been hospitalized with severe injuries after he was pulled from under a METRO bus late Saturday in the downtown area. The incident occurred on South Main Street near Underwood. A Houston Fire Department spokesperson said the victim was extricated after approximately 10 minutes when crews responded to 911 calls of a person being trapped under a commercial vehicle.
The unidentified victim was transported to the hospital’s trauma center with ‘extensive injuries.’ The HFD chief added that the bus was headed southbound when the man stepped out in front of it and was hit. An investigation into the accident is ongoing.
While relatively rare, bus accidents involving pedestrians can often lead to catastrophic results due to the size and weight of the vehicles involved. If you’ve been injured or have lost a loved one in a bus or auto accident, pursuing a claim against the driver is one way to obtain justice. An experienced and knowledgeable attorney can help you protect your rights, including your right to be compensated for your losses.
