Arrest reported in ISU hit and run death

Surprised it took them this long to figure out it was a CyRide. Glad the family finally has opportunity for closure.
A friend got killed by a CyRide bus in 2005. Either the driver can't see well or students aren't looking. Sad deal all around.

You've got to believe that the defense will be that he had no idea he even hit her. A vehicle that large. Totally plausible that the driver didn't realize something had happened.
If this happened shortly after 7 a.m. at such a major intersection it's really surprising that there were no witnesses, either outside or on the bus. Very sad. Glad they got the guy.
Does anyone know, are there cameras mounted on CyRide?
That's got to be one nervous, white knuckle job sometimes.

I wonder how CyRide discovered it...did they have a huge dent in the bus? Must've been on the route around that time.
Guessing they were trying to find witnesses and found 'hey, a cyride bus should have gone through an intersection about that time, lets ask the driver'
But yeah, you'd think it'd take less time to figure that out.
Man, I don't know about that. I think you would still know that you had hit something substantial if you hit something as large as a person.
