DTA Driver Cited in Downtown bus Crash
The Pedestrian Sustained Significant Injuries
DULUTH, Minn. – According to the Duluth Police Department, the driver of the DTA bus that hit a woman in Downtown Duluth earlier this month has been cited with “failure to yield to a pedestrian.”
The crash happened around 12:48 p.m. on May 18 at the intersection of Third Avenue West and Superior Street.
When first responders arrived on scene they found 72-year-old Mary Beth McDade, from Two Harbors, pinned under the bus with significant injuries.
She was transported to a local hospital for non-life threatening injuries where she remains hospitalized.
A spokesperson for the DTA has confirmed the driver is no longer employed with them, but would not comment further due to the possibility of litigation.
