A sophomore said he is happy to be alive after being hit by a transit bus outside of his fraternity house this morning.
Tyler Fishbone, a member of Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity, was taken to the GW Hospital around 8:30 a.m. with injuries to the feet and head after being hit by a Maryland Transit Administration bus, he said. While Fishbone said he has severe bruising on his feet and lacerations on his face, he is otherwise unhurt.
“I’m okay,” Fishbone said. “Actually, I feel great. I didn’t even break any bones.”
Fishbone was attempting to cross 23rd Street “against the cross walk sign” from Townhouse Row to Ivory Tower, University Spokeswoman Michelle Sherrard said.
MTA media representatives did not immediately return requests for comment. The bus was traveling south on 23rd street when it struck Fishbone.
