    As a witness to this accident & the person who called the emergency services and stayed with the injured woman until the EMT’s arrived. I would like to rectify your statement. There was no car involved. The female that was injured has just gotten off of a bus and was crossing the road behind the bus. She was hit by a motor cyclist that tried everything to avoid her. I pray she will recover from the severe injuries. My heart goes out to both her & the bike rider who was very shaken up.
