39 Bus Possibly Involved in Fatal Bike Wreck

The 39 Bus may have been involved in a collision that led to the death of a cyclist, according to multiple news sources.

A bike rider in her 20s died after being struck on Huntington Avenue and Forsyth at 10:20 p.m. Friday. While the wreck did not take place in Jamaica Plain, the 39 is the busiest route that serves JP. A bicycle advocacy group, JP Bikes, is urging people who were passengers on the bus to contact police at 617-343-4911.

It isn't clear whether the bus struck the cyclist, according to the Boston Herald, but WBZ is reporting that there is evidence the bus did.

The bus driver, a six-year veteran who is 45 years old, has not been charged with any wrongdoing.

WBZ notes that the stretch of Huntington is notoriously dangerous for bicyclists, being narrow and mostly without bike lanes or breakdown lanes.
