MADISON - A New Glarus woman has been identified as the pedestrian killed after being struck by a Metro bus on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus Tuesday.
Maureen E. Grant, 58, of New Glarus died as a result of injuries she sustained in the accident, according to the Dane County Medical Examiner's office.
Grant was walking across University Avenue at Lake Street in a crosswalk shortly before 9 a.m. Wednesday and had a walk signal when she was hit by the bus turning left, according to Madison police officials.
Metro spokesman Mick Rusch told the Wisconsin State Journal the bus driver was driving an empty bus back to the garage. Rusch says the female driver will be taken for drug and alcohol testing as part of federal requirements.
The driver is on paid leave. The bus was impounded and inspected by the Wisconsin State Patrol to make sure everything was working mechanically.
