East Pleasant Street PVTA bus stop torpedoed by car around noon today
Three weeks from now this minor accident could be a major catastrophe as the bus stop (almost in front of The Sub & Pizza, 33 East Pleasant Street) would be relatively packed with people -- especially since it is on a direct route to UMass/Amherst, our number one everything.
An elderly woman had a (bad) reaction to taking medication on an empty stomach and lost control of her car while driving north towards UMass. An ambulance was called, but she refused transport.

Only an hour later PVTA bus picked up a couple customers
Bike seems to have been there a while. Town owns bike racks and will replace them. PVTA owns shelter
I noticed this morning that one of the Jersey barriers on the closed Puffer's Pond Dam bridge was knocked over -- another errant car?
ReplyDeleteDo you get the feeling that there are a number of people in town rolling the dice with our lives?
ReplyDeleteI like that you report the news that never was. Three weeks from now this could have been. Well, five years from now there would have been a parade and a human rights march at that spot. Plus a bus would have just unloaded 10 immigrant families moving to Amherst. Why not just stick with the facts, which are that no one was hurt in this accident.
ReplyDeleteIf I' not mistaken, a Jersey Barrier weighs 600 lbs per foot.
ReplyDeleteThey don't get knocked over easily....
....Wonder if David Ortiz was in town.
I say the town should buy up all the historic bus stops and clearly the bike racks too. Somebody make some lawn posters.
ReplyDeleteAn ambulance left the scene very shortly after it happened.
ReplyDeleteLarry, this legally was "operating under the influence."
ReplyDeleteAre they at least going to yank her license?
