Police ID man killed when SEPTA bus crashed into home, investigation continues - Philly
"A SEPTA bus crashed into two cars and a home on Frankford Avenue, killing one man and injuring multiple others.

...James Robert Derbyshire of East Torresdale was pronounced dead at the scene at 6:30 p.m. Derbyshire was sharing an inflatable wading pool with his son and a woman, neighbors said, in front of his son’s home on Frankford Avenue when he was killed.
A bus carrying about 15 passengers ran a red light at the intersection of Morell Avenue and Frankford shortly before 6 p.m. and hit a Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ that were traveling on Frankford. 

The bus then jumped the curb, plowing through fence posts and shrubbery toward the three people before striking the home on the 9800 block of Frankford Avenue and coming to a stop, police said.
Derbyshire was visiting for his daughter’s wedding, neighbors said..."

• Busta Nutter---The first time Septa ever picked anyone up at their door, and it leads to a death. Sad.
• Randolphnurina---We need to outlaw Buses, ban them from big cities. No one has a "Right" to drive a bus that kills people.
• Curmudgeon---If I didn't have to work, I would love to station myself on a corner on E. Market St. and compile a spreadsheet with the date, time, bus number and the number of times buses run red lights -- just on Market St. They sound their horns to let pedestrians know not to step off as they will be barreling through the light. Courteous, no? I have lived in Center City for over 20 years and am appalled by the number of times I see public vehicles running red lights. I am surprised more accidents like this haven't happened.
• Scenewriter---...We need common-sense Bus Control before another dies.
• Bunsonhoneydew2013---As a professional bus driver, I must ask... What happened Man?! This article reads like a zombie bus went wild. My boss would hold the driver more personally responsible. This is a major operator malfunction. Is the driver Muslim?
• Randolphnurina---Reply to @bunsonhoneydew2013: More likely the Driver was watching Maxine Waters on his iPad and didn't see the red light...."
