Woman in Motorized Wheelchair Struck by School Bus in Huntington

Posted on Sep 15, 2011

September 15, 2011 - Huntington, W.Va. - A woman was taken to the hospital after her motorized wheelchair was hit by a school bus Wednesday, September 14.

WSAZ reports that the accident happened shortly before 3 p.m. at the corner of 10th Avenue and 21st street. The school bus had just started to move after letting some children off when it hit the woman's motorized wheelchair. The woman and the wheelchair were knocked sideways onto the pavement.

She was injured in the accident and was transported to a local hospital immediately following the crash. There has been no word on the extent of her injuries.

Officials said that there were several children on the bus at the time of the accident. None of the children were injured.

A man who was with the woman when the accident occurred said that they had been in the street because the sidewalk wasn't smooth enough.
