A downtown Bethesda pedestrian collision that sent a woman to the hospital last week involved a Ride On bus.

According to police, the driver of the Ride On bus involved in the incident at Old Georgetown Road and Commerce Lane was given a citation. The pedestrian, who witnesses reported as a 38-year-old woman, was walking in the crosswalk with the walk signal.

Police said the woman was taken to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries. They had no other information as of Friday.

The bus driver, Jerome Prescott, started with Ride On in November 2012, according to a Montgomery County Department of Transportation spokesperson.

The collision happened near the Bethesda Metro station bus bays at about 8:36 p.m. on Tuesday.

A tipster said a friend was coming out of the La Madeleine restaurant at the intersection and “heard a thump, like a vehicle hitting something.” The friend saw a bus stopped in the crosswalk and a woman about 15 feet ahead.

The friend and another person stayed with the woman until the police came. A police report further detailing the collision was not yet available.
