REDWOOD CITY — A pedestrian was seriously injured Friday night in Redwood City when they were run over by a SamTrans bus in Redwood City, authorities said.
The incident happened just before 6:45 p.m. at the Redwood City Caltrain station, according to SamTrans spokesperson Tasha Bartholomew.
Bartholomew said the pedestrian tripped while trying to catch a northbound El Camino Real bus. The rear wheels of the bus then ran over both of the pedestrian’s legs.
The pedestrian was taken to Stanford Hospital for observation, according to Bartholomew.
