An accident occurred on UNC’s campus Thursday involving a wheelchair and a bus.

The incident occurred just before 3 o’clock in the afternoon.

UNC Department of Public Safety Spokesperson Randy Young says, as of last update, the investigation is ongoing. No citations issued or fault was determined as of Wednesday evening.

But Young did confirm an individual in a wheelchair was struck by Chapel Hill Transit bus in the Manning Drive crosswalk at Ridge Road.

The victim was then transported to UNC Hospitals for treatment for lacerations, but was conscious and alert at the time.
