Metro bus hits pedestrian after running red lights

A woman has filed a complaint against King County after a Metro bus allegedly hit her. She claims the bus ran two red lights before sideswiping her while she was in a crosswalk. The incident occurred on February 13th, just before 4 p.m. The woman, represented by Davis Law Group, reports injuries including a swollen ankle, shoulder soreness, and a cut on her finger. Video footage provided to KIRO 7 shows the bus violating traffic signals before hitting her. At the time, she was crossing at Yale Avenue and Stewart Street, and was holding her phone when the bus struck her, causing her to drop it. King County Metro issued a statement acknowledging the incident. They said the Bus Operations and Safety Divisions, along with Risk Management, are aware of the claim. However, they cannot share more details since a claim has been filed. It is unclear if the bus driver has been informed about the incident, and no disciplinary actions have been reported. Pedestrians who frequent that intersection expressed concern over traffic safety. One pedestrian noted that the area is busy and dangerous, especially with multiple vehicles navigating the congested streets.
