Man Hit by Bus Files Suit Against City
A blind Des Moines resident has filed a lawsuit against the Des Moines Area Regional Transit Authority after he was hit by a city bus in 2008. According to his lawsuit, Roger D. Christenson claims the driver of the bus, Susan Jane Leveke-Meyers, had not been properly trained. The suit also alleges that she had been working far too many hours in the days before the accident and was fatigued. The bus hit Christenson as he was crossing the street in a crosswalk. The lawsuit claims that he had the right-of-way. Christenson is seeking damages to cover his medical costs and pain and suffering.
