Woman, 75, loses foot after being run over by bus while exiting vehicle in Córdoba

A shocking incident in Córdoba has once again highlighted the dangers faced by public transport passengers. A 75-year-old woman suffered a devastating injury, losing her right foot after being struck by a bus as she alighted. The accident, which occurred on Belgrano street, underscores a terrifying vulnerability: the potential for drivers to be unaware of passengers' movements, leading to tragic consequences.

According to initial reports, the woman lost her footing while descending from the bus, falling onto the asphalt. Tragically, the driver, apparently without realizing she had fallen, initiated the bus's movement, resulting in the severe crushing of her foot. Emergency services and police responded swiftly, but the severity of the injuries necessitated the amputation of her foot at the ankle.

This event echoes similar harrowing incidents that have occurred recently in Buenos Aires. Just last month, a 31-year-old neurologist tragically lost her life after being run over by a bus in Villa Devoto. In another disturbing case, a five-year-old boy was dragged several meters after getting caught on a bus. These repeated accidents raise serious questions about passenger safety protocols and driver awareness when operating buses, particularly in urban environments.
