Bus crashes near traffic booth

Tuesday, October 6, 2009

A campus blue 42 bus scraped by the concrete surrounding a traffic booth at the intersection of Sunnyside Avenue and Sunflower Road, near the Hall Center for the Humanities, at 7:07 p.m. Monday. The bus made too sharp of a turn, said Marvin Wiedeman, Jr., of Facilities Operations. Wiedeman said a few people were on the bus at the time of the accident. He also said trucks hit this particular checkpoint “all the time” and that it was one of the most difficult intersections to pass through for KU buses. Wiedeman directed traffic after the accident until the bus was driven away at 8:08 p.m.
