A young woman died after falling underneath an MTA bus in Queens.
Police say it happened around 10 p.m. last night at the intersection of Myrtle and Wyckoff Avenues in Ridgewood.
The 26-year old woman was crossing the street when she fell underneath the back tires of the bus, which appears to have been out of service at the time, according to authorities.
She was taken to Wyckoff Heights Hospital where she was pronounced dead.
One witness says he tried to help the woman after he saw her lying on the ground.
"The bus was turning, when it was turning, it hit her first on the left and she stumbled and she fell on the floor, and it ran over both her legs," he said.
No charges have been filed against the driver.
