Street sweeper Joseph Fray was struck by a Public Transportation Board bus shortly after noon on July 10 at the junction of Cedar Avenue and Church Street.

A couple of days after the accident, PTB assistant director Dan Simmons told The Royal Gazette that Mr. Fray made contact with the side of the bus and its rear wheel.

He claimed there was no way for the bus driver to know what was about to happen.

"I don't know how that happened, whether he tripped, he fell, did not see the bus or what,'' Mr. Simmons said. "We can say with surety that it was not a frontal impact ... it was not seen until they heard the impact.'' He also said PTB had an accident prevention committee that would look into the incident in great detail. But he declined to comment on what could happen to the driver if he was found to be at fault.

However, when Mr. Simmons was contacted recently he told The Royal Gazette the investigation was yet to be completed.

"We are now waiting the official Police report, as they are the experts,'' he said. "We incorporate their findings into our investigation and we are still waiting for it.'' When The Royal Gazette contacted Police to see if and when the report would be ready, spokesperson Evelyn James-Barnett said: "We wouldn't know. As soon as it is finished we'll forward it to them.'' And lawyer Justin Williams, who has been retained by Mr. Fray's family, said he was also unable to comment until the investigation was completed.

Meanwhile, Mr. Fray remains in the Intensive Care Unit at King Edward VII Memorial Hospital where he is listed in satisfactory condition.
