Metro Transit Bus Collides with Truck
Bus Collides with Truck in Downtown St. Paul, 8 Injured
At least eight people were rushed to Regions Hospital after a Metro Transit bus collided with a truck in downtown St. Paul Wednesday morning.
The collision sent the bus, route 94, into a nearby parking garage shortly after 9 a.m. at Cedar and Sixth Streets. A Metro Transit spokesperson says the truck ran a red light.
John Siqveland of Metro Transit tells KSTP.com the bus went into the Alliance Bank Center parking ramp after the collision.
The driver of the bus at one point was trapped inside the bus.
Metro Transit officials say it appears the victims suffered non-life threatening injuries. Two of the victims who were inside of the truck were taken to the hospital with "five or six" victims on the bus also taken to the hospital.
Metro Transit expects the scene of the crash to be cleared by 11 a.m.
Metro Transit Police, according to Siqveland, ticketed the driver of the truck. The driver of the bus will be given a drug and alcohol test, which is Metro Transit policy.

Suspicious Package at Bus Stop Not Explosive
Police: Suspicious Package at Bus Stop Not Explosive
Authorities say a suspicious package removed from a University Avenue bus shelter Saturday evening was not an explosive.
Members of the St. Paul bomb squad removed the package shortly before 6 p.m. from a bus shelter near Berry Street.
Several blocks of University Avenue were closed after two University of Minnesota students reported the package late afternoon. The road has since re-opened.
Bomb squad personnel used a robot to remove the package from the shelter, loading it into a protective container and into a trailer. Police spokesperson Andy Skoogman said authorities are still trying to determine what the object is, but it does not contain an explosive.
Customers at a Dunn Brothers Coffee near the scene were stuck inside for about an hour and a half on the direction of police, who told them to keep away from windows.

Two Shot on Metro Transit Bus
Two boys shot on Metro Transit bus in Minneapolis
Two boys were hospitalized in serious condition Sunday after being shot on a Metro Transit bus in north Minneapolis Saturday night.
At least six shots were fired on the Route 22 bus as it headed northbound at Humboldt and 53rd Aves. N., said Metro Transit spokesman Bob Gibbons.
There were ten to 12 people aboard when the shooting erupted at 10:35 p.m.
Both victims were taken to North Memorial Medical Center, with injuries that were described as not life-threatening. It was unclear what the ages are of the two junvenile males.
Gibbons said investigators were still trying to sort out what might have prompted the incident. Early Sunday morning they were interviewing passengers and the bus driver, and had interviewed one of the victims at the hospital, Gibbons said. The other victim was not in condition to be interviewed. Transit police were also reviewing the bus camera.

Safety Campaign
Metro Transit Kicks Off New Safety Campaign
Metro Transit kicked off a new safety campaign this weekend, after drivers hit two pedestrians in the past ten days. One of those accidents turned deadly.
Over the last 20 years eight pedestrians were hit and killed by Metro Transit buses, resulting in eight fatalities. Two of those deaths happened just this year.
The first happened in February when 55-year-old Mary Ann O'Dougherty of Minneapolis died after she was hit at 46th St. and Minnehaha Parkway. The bus driver did not even realize he'd hit someone.
The second death was earlier this month. A bus hit 43-year-old Becca Cruzen at 46th St. and Hiawatha Ave. as she was walking toward the light rail station.
Gregory Mudgett was seriously hurt Friday after he was hit while carrying his groceries across St. Claire Ave and West 7th St. in St. Paul.
Metro Transit says its new five week campaign includes text message safety reminders sent to drivers as they log in on their buses, safety memos being distributed. Starting monday, they will also have face-to-face meetings with managers to review procedures.
