New Shuttle Bus Routes Lead to Confusion, Death
A woman was killed at a DIA by a shuttle bus while walking to the terminal. Construction on the main concourses has caused a rerouting of airport traffic, which is thought to have contributed to the accident, officials say.
Traffic was restricted to traveling in one direction prior to the new construction, and the new routes have admittedly confused taxi cabs and shuttle buses. Investigators are trying to determine what role the construction and new routes played in the incident.
The woman, whose name has not been released pending notification of relatives, was struck by a Budget Rental Car shuttle bus on Saturday, October 13.
Investigators are working to determine if any charges will be filed. The Budget Rental Car employee that was driving the shuttle stayed at the scene and is cooperating with the investigation.
Pedestrians in the mean time are encouraged to be extremely cautious when navigating through the crosswalks at D.I.A., as a precautionary measure due to the new changes in traffic.
