Metrobus Takes Another Life

Metrobus took yet another victim this weekend.

A 21-year-old woman who was fatally struck by a Metro bus Saturday night has been identified as Angel C. Walters, 21, Metro spokeswoman Lisa Farbstein said today.

Walters was a passenger in a sport utility vehicle and stepped out of the rear driver's side of the SUV Saturday night around 11:10 p.m. with boxes or packages in her hand when she was struck by a W2 bus on Congress Street, in the Congress Heights section of Southeast Washington, according to Farbstein.

The driver was not charged in the incident, Farbstein said. The bus, number 3941 was headed toward Washington Overlook. Farbstein said it was not clear if the driver hit the brakes and that information would be part of the investigation.

You have got to be kidding me. Not another one after the tragedy of last week, in which two women were killed by a Metrobus as they crossed on the green in the crosswalk.
