Another day in paradise extended with 7th bus-pedestrian collision

I didn’t know it could happen so soon after the last one. But count them, the 7th pedestrian-bus collision in downtown Des Moines since July 2007. A 61-year-old woman was struck by a DART bus and taken to an area hospital. This is the second accident in just 19 days. The third or fourth one back cost the City of Des Moines Transit Authority $2.74 million.

William Holmes was struck in a crosswalk by a DART bus on Oct. 13, 2008 in downtown Des Moines.

Veronica Lima, 54, is still in the hospital after she sustained leg injuries on July 9, 2009.

Just last week, it’s being said that DART settled a lawsuit with Emily Abrahamsen. Ms. Abrahamsen’s pelvis was crushed in August of 2007 when she too was hit by a city bus.

I’m not sure but if this is pedestrian hunting season my guess is DART has exceeded its bag limit.
