Fortunately, nearby citizens who witnessed the incident rushed over and lifted the bus to rescue the woman. It was confirmed that she suffered fractures to her ribs and clavicle, but her life is not in danger. The bus driver was investigated and found not to be under the influence of alcohol.



The police plan to investigate the detailed circumstances of the accident and then decide whether to book the bus driver. According to the police's "Traffic Accident Investigation Regulations," cases involving injuries requiring less than four weeks of treatment are typically closed without criminal charges, so the victim's specific medical diagnosis will be necessary.
