Lucky there are cameras outside and inside the bus. My condolences to the family. The driver will definitely need therapy and support.
So will the poor widowed woman!! Where is your sympathy for her?? COLD.
@alliecat8348 they don't care because when it's a white couple they don't care and I guarantee you the driver was on his phone
Septa have failed us. They do not take complaints about drivers serious .
The driver was careless because he wasn't looking at the crosswalk in front of him but I bet you he won't even get a slap on the wrist for committing vehicular homicide!
I understand all the things going on in traffic but a lot of these septa drivers are just ignorant.
The bus turn into the crosswalk. The pedestrian had the right away. I see comments implying that the walkers were at fault.
I know, this is driving me nuts!!! Those commenters didn't read the article or they're dumb as a box of rocks.
So sorry to hear this ❤🙏🏽
I'm so sorry 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Philly isn’t made for commercial vehicles it’s nerve wrecking driving a bus in this city
This is a city issue..... Too many streets are poorly lit...... This is of the areas. Sometimes driving through that area, it's too dark to see how many lanes there are.
Idk what the victims were wearing but if darker color clothing, poorly lit streets truly doesn't help the matter
This is an issue of the bus driver not looking at the crosswalk and not paying attention. Why are you trying to deflect blame from the guilty party?. Everyone wears dark clothes and crosses the street at night and yet everyone doesn't end up getting hit by SEPTA bus. This is because the driver was not paying attention!! Quit blaming everybody and everything else except the actual guilty party! What is WRONG with you?!
My heart goes out to this couple and their family 😢🙏🙏🙏
Very sad, prayers for the victims and their families.
Horrible 😢
That's a really dark area of the city. What a tragedy for the driver, who has to live with this and the family of the deceased😢
I was crossing the street at 55th and vine. There is a no turn on red sign. Lots of times the g hurries and turn to beat the light. Once I was crossing and g sped up to beat the light instead of waiting. A lot of these younger bus drivers speed. Then they have to brake hard.
@@tanayanottanyabrooks8085 the G goes northbound and left at 56 to vine and southbound straight on 56 st. It never go to 55th or make a right.🤔
@@allstarcyclesandcars probably a detour
Damn my condolences and prayers are with their family 😥🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
I'm guessing it was too dark. The bus i catch everyday at 5:30 to go to work. When i first started catching that bus, the driver ajways says he cant see anything cause during that stretch of the street its poorly lit, and i had to flag him down so he stops. Couldnt see me until he got close. Im guessing this is what happened...especially since the bus was turning too.
May the Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on this soul
Amen 🙏
Is this the same Lord Jesus Christ that killed him? Stop with sky fairy bull crap . 🙄
How does this happen yo………wtf…….was they in the street or something?
This is horrific pedestrians 🚶♂️always have the right away even if they don’t. However in this case the definitely had the right away. I used to live over here and drive by all the time. The driver is wrong!
I almost saw a blind person walk right in front of a speeding bus in Philly. Luckily someone stopped him. They barrel through those intersections without concern. Sad for everyone involved.
Driver took corner at full speed.
U mean to tell me they didn't see that big as bus
The Septa bus driver was probably driving like an idiot and running through red lights like they always do. Probably didn't even bother to look if people were crossing. Where's the bus camera video? And don't tell us the camera wasn't working. Septa needs to stop hiring people with road rage.
Look at you assuming whose fault it was.
While coming home from Wills Eye Hospital I almost got run over by a bus while crossing the street. He made no attempt to stop he just honked his horn
Please... send the police PROOF of your claim.
@@ok-pj4eu were you at an intersection or Jay walking? If you are not at a legal crosswalk they are supposed to honk to alert you something is approaching in case you aren’t paying attention but at a crosswalk they stop at red light and for pick up and drop offs but if no one is at the corner and their light is green to go and you’re standing there they will honk just to let you know they are approaching. I know I’m paying g attention outside because cars, trucks and busses hurt so I am not depending on them to stop but I am depending on ME to pay attention.
How u can't see two people crossing the street!!
Exactly
Night time (too dark), rain, windows may have been fogged up, dark clothes may have been hard to see, unfortunately it's possible.😢
Have you ever driven in the dark and passed someone wearing black clothing?
I been a trucker for 32yrs- driving at night, oncoming traffic, weather, dark clothes- totally possible. Another thing: these headlights cars have nowadays will easily blind you at night. 😡
@@smoothoperator7023You have to look to the side not straight at the lights because it will blind you view.
Praying for the gentleman! 🙏
Wow! Septa is always calls an accident. Last year they ran someone over and now this they hire anyone at this point.
Sue septa
Did they have the right away they were probably dressed in the dark clothes
correct , and looking down on their phones apparently ...
@@SalimAbdallah-ek7jq🥴 sad but true
@@SalimAbdallah-ek7jq STOP assuming anything!
If you are turning into a cross walk its your responsibility to make sure the street is clear. You must pause before turning . So yes the driver of the bus is at fault
'Probably' is not exactly evidence.
RIP sad .Get well soon sis
My sincere condolences to his loved ones & friends, it’s sad he lost his life. Though I’m not going to put blame on the driver or the pedestrians.
Septa is horrible. They are probably going to bury the video like they did with me.
All of the city streets seem just a little darker, the street lights that are supposed to illuminate areas during the night , dont!! The streets should be lit at night. I don't understand why the street lamp in front of my house doesn't brighten up the property two doors away. Its a spot light actually. West Philly, tell me am i the only one who noticed how dark our streets are at night?
Just tonight I was thinking how dark the streets are as I was taking a walk
Wow 😯🙏🏾
💔❤️🩹🙏 sad sending prayers.
God bless him so sad
Omg Jesus
I see them in the city ,most of the bus drivers don’t care about safety,and they love going first at any time without using any signals or looking behind them !!
How did they not c the bus, I don’t understand, Damm thats real sad! I just don’t get it , how do u not c or hear the bus
I knew the guy...friends told me they were in a crosswalk and the driver was turning
Learn some grammar Jesus Christ
Learn some grammar Jesus Christ
There’s negligence on both sides here but I have to say as a professional bus driver myself, folks in Philly cross like they own the streets and act like there isnt imminent danger. Yes the law is here to help, but damn a right-of-way. Protect yourself! common sense and awareness goes a long way. I tell people all the time, dont watch lights, watch traffic. Aint no way in hell you wouldnt see a whole bus.
Im quite mad cause this didnt have to be. Its not a stray bullet or some force major event, We’re crossing a street folks!! A street, where this is moving traffic. Your awareness for the 8 seconds it takes to cross safely is your top priority. this is 1st grade shit
Why are you blaming the people crossing the street??
HOW DOYOU KNOW THAT THE BUS DRIVER WASN'T DISTRACTED OR NOT PAYING ATTENTION????
Disgusting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Septa bus has a lot of cameras so they’ll get bottom of it
There are trees on the corners and a close bridge from the highway that make that area dark but if this happened last night it was also snow showers and it was a dark day even before the sun went down. Sad story.
Allegedly crashed.....
What it's like? Thump!
Sad, condolences to the alleged victim.
Septa hires the WORST drivers. They have no $*its to give! Hope they investigate.
🙏🕊️🙏
🙏❤️
Septa drivers are so rude nowadays in Philly driving close behind people car bumper also stuff like that get u touch and put passenger life in danger also ,no supervisor or supervisor same trash I don't know why they paid this people that much , innocent people getting killed on the bus because drivers going back n forth with killer over 2$ 🚫
Sad lawsuit
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Law suit how u sit see him should not be driving
Shame
DEI
Yooo talk about the 13 killed a black man and still free💯
You don't just randomly run someone over that sounds like he targeted someone
Yea… the bus driver just targeted these ppl and planned to run them over? Y’all need to be stopped with the conspiracy theories and over stimulation is the issue.
🙄
So the bus driver, who is on a scheduled route... knew these people would be crossing the street at that time?
@rob774 these ppl r crazy u can’t tell them they wrong 😭
