Woman Dies After Bike Collides with Bus on Huntington

A female bike rider in her 20s died after being struck by a bus at 393 Huntington Avenue and Forsyth at 10:20 p.m. Friday.

It isn't clear whether the 39 Bus struck the cyclist, according to the Boston Herald, but WBZ is reporting that there is evidence the bus did. The bus driver, a six-year veteran who is 45 years old, has not been charged with any wrongdoing.

WBZ notes that the stretch of Huntington is notoriously dangerous for bicyclists, being narrow and mostly without bike lanes or breakdown lanes. The 39 is also busy route that serves Jamaica Plain, and a bicycle advocacy group, JP Bikes, is urging people who were passengers on the bus to contact police at 617-343-4911.
