DO NOT CHASE TRANSIT BUSES IN MOTION!
A female pedestrian was struck and killed by a bus Sunday at Linwood Boulevard and Main Street.
Police said the incident occurred about 2:20 p.m. and involved a Kansas City Area Transportation Authority bus. Police said a witness reported the woman was running alongside the bus and pounding on it when she fell and was run over.
ATA spokeswoman Cindy Baker said investigators would check the bus for mechanical problems and give the driver a drug test, both standard procedures.
