Man killed by SEPTA bus in Frankford

A SEPTA bus driver likely won’t face charges for the early morning accident that left a pedestrian dead.

Just after midnight, a man in his 30s was struck by a Route 14 bus at Frankford Transportation Center as the driver pulled into the terminal.

The man was taken to Hahnemann University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The accident is still being investigated.
