At approximately 0905 today, a female passenger was disembarking the transit Bus at a stop on ski Club road. A westbound sidewalk plow that was sanding the sidewalk slid when it approached the rear of the bus, skidding sideways and pinning the pedestrian between the two vehicles.

The injuries are believed to be non-life threatening. The sidewalk that is approximately two feet higher than the roadway had a very icy surface with a downward slope from the sidewalk to the roadway. No charges are being considered at this time.
