MAN HIT BY BUS IN STABLE CONDITION AC TRA Man hit by bus in stable condition The condition of a 54-year-old man, who was hit by a Government bus last month, has been upgraded.

Street sweeper Joseph Fray was struck by a Public Transportation Board bus shortly after noon on July 10 at the junction of Cedar Avenue and Church Street.

A couple of days after the accident PTB assistant director Dan Simmons told The Royal Gazette that Mr. Fray made contact with the side of the bus and its rear wheel.

He claimed there was no way for the bus driver to know what was about to happen.

He also said PTB had an accident prevention committee that would look into incident in great detail.

But he declined to comment on what could happen to the driver if he was found to be at fault.

This week, however, neither PTB officials nor lawyer for Mr. Fray's family, Justin Williams, could not be reached for comment.

But a spokeswoman at King Edward VII Memorial Hospital said Mr. Fray had been moved from the Intensive Care Unit, where he had been in critical condition, to a general ward where he was listed in stable condition.
