An elderly woman is fighting for her life after she was struck by a SEPTA bus in Philadelphia Wednesday.
The 91-year-old woman and her 68-year-old nephew and caregiver were crossing the intersection on the 500 block of W. Godfrey Avenue around 4:50 p.m. As they were walking, a SEPTA bus traveling on Godfrey attempted to make a left turn on 5th Street, police said.
The bus knocked the man and woman down, according to investigators. A rear tire then ran over the woman's legs, police said.
The woman suffered several fractures and injuries to both legs. Both the woman and her nephew were taken to the Einstein Medical Center. The woman is in extremely critical condition while her nephew was treated for minor scrapes and cuts.
No one on the bus was injured in the crash. Police continue to investigate.
