EDMONTON — A passenger on a transit bus in Edmonton is in critical condition after police say she fell out the vehicle’s back door.

Police say the bus was making a left turn in the city’s west end on Friday afternoon when a 63-year-old woman stood up from her seat and moved towards the rear exit.

They say she reached for and held onto a safety bar, but as the bus turned, she lost her balance and fell backwards through the door and onto the street.

Paramedics transported the woman to hospital with serious injuries.

Police say her condition rapidly declined in hospital, where she remains in critical condition.
