Investigation Into Fatal ATA Bus/Bicycle Accident Concluded
District Attorney Stephanie Vettenburg-Shaffer and City of Bradford Police Chief Michael Ward report that the investigation into the ATA/bicycle crash that claimed the life of a young Bradford man has concluded.
On June 7th, City of Bradford Police along with City of Bradford Fire Department and EMS responded to the scene on North Center and Pleasant Streets.
Bradford City Police has concluded that no charges will be filed against the ATA driver.
Officers were able to rule out speed and recklessness (including ruling out drugs or alcohol) of the ATA driver.
A residence near the scene had a security camera that captured the entire incident and showed the bicycle enter the intersection at a fast pace.
The ATA bus legally proceeded into the intersection at a speed below the speed limit but collided with the bicycle who failed to stop at the stop sign.
The young man operating the bicycle passed away from the injuries sustained in the crash.
