Rochester, NY (December 18, 2024) – A pedestrian was injured late Tuesday night after being struck by a bus on East Main St in Rochester. The accident occurred around 11:10 p.m., according to the Rochester Police Department (RPD).

Authorities reported that a man in his 30s stepped into the roadway as a Regional Transit Service (RTS) bus was traveling westbound on East Main St. The bus struck the pedestrian, who sustained non-life-threatening injuries. Emergency responders quickly transported him to Strong Memorial Hospital for medical care.

RPD stated that no tickets were issued in connection with the incident. The circumstances surrounding why the man entered the roadway remain unclear, and officials are continuing to investigate.

“Our thoughts are with the injured individual, and we wish him a full recovery,” local officials remarked.

Pedestrian Accidents in New York

Pedestrian accidents involving buses can result in serious consequences due to the size and weight of these vehicles. In New York, urban areas like Rochester experience frequent pedestrian traffic, which increases the risk of collisions, particularly during nighttime hours when visibility is reduced.

According to the New York State Department of Transportation, pedestrian crashes account for a significant percentage of urban accidents, with many incidents occurring near bus routes and major streets. Factors such as jaywalking, driver inattention, and insufficient lighting can all contribute to these unfortunate events.

Local authorities encourage pedestrians to use crosswalks and follow traffic signals to reduce risks. Likewise, drivers are urged to remain attentive, especially in areas with high pedestrian activity.
