Woman injured after city bus hits bus shelter, shattering glass

Winnipeg Transit says they’re investigating after a woman was injured from falling glass after a city bus hit a bus shelter downtown.

Transit said the incident took place just after noon on Tuesday, when their control centre received a report from an operator stating that his bus had hit the shelter at the corner of Portage Avenue and Fort Street.

In an email to the Free Press on Thursday, Transit said that initially, it was reported that there were no injuries.

“Later, the control centre received reports that a female was hit with falling glass and suffered injuries during the incident,” a statement from Transit said.

They said Transit immediately called the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service and dispatched a transit inspector to the scene. 

An internal investigation into the incident is ongoing, Transit said.
