Reports from authorities show that Emily Watson of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was struck by a UPMC shuttle bus at the intersection of Sutherland Drive and Terrace Street. The incident prompted authorities to close the roadway near the Petersen Events Center.

The pedestrian was severely hurt in the crash. Bystanders performed CPR on the victim until firefighters arrived. She was transported to a local hospital in critical condition. Authorities confirmed that she passed away after arriving. At this time, investigations into the crash are underway.
