Bus driver did not follow blind spot procedures before crash, officials say

A bus driver failed to perform a physical maneuver to overcome a blind spot before striking a pedestrian in a fatal crash on University Avenue last June, Metro Transit officials said Wednesday. General Manager Chuck Kamp said Metro is now remounting the external driver?s side mirror on its buses to reduce the left-side blind spot, and is considering adding audio signals to alert pedestrians that a bus is making a left turn.
