A Port Authority bus struck a female Pitt student on campus Sunday morning.
The 71B bus was traveling outbound toward Shadyside and Hamilton when it struck the 19-year-old woman at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and Bigelow Boulevard, next to the Cathedral of Learning. Port Authority spokesman Jim Ritchie said the young woman sustained injuries to her face and shoulder at the scene and responders rushed her to the UPMC Presbyterian emergency room.
Pitt spokesman John Fedele confirmed that the young woman was a Pitt student and that an ambulance took her to the UPMC Presbyterian emergency room, but said the University would not release her name.
The cause of the pedestrian accident, to which Port Authority police and Pittsburgh Emergency Medical Services responded at 11:25 a.m., is currently under investigation, Ritchie said.
