"My heart is broken, that could’ve been me," said Audra Tomes, who rides LRTA buses. "I've been passed by so many times, missing the bus. I've seen older people that have almost been hit. I mean, it's been bad."
A city bus was behind caution tape at the scene, near the Market Basket, before being towed away. More caution tape was up in another part of the plaza, at a stop sign on Clard Road a few hundred feet away from the Market Basket and across the street from a doctor's office.
The Middlesex District Attorney's Office said it was investigating.
