Traffic enforcement officer struck by bus

BOSTON (AP) — Authorities say an MBTA bus driver apparently trying to avoid a parking ticket struck the parking enforcement officer with her bus as she drove away before causing damage to several other cars.

Officials say the bus was in a no-stopping zone in Kenmore Square just before 9 a.m. yesterday when a supervisor with the Boston Transportation Department prepared to write a ticket.

The bus driver drove off, striking the officer, who was taken to a hospital with injuries not considered life-threatening.

The bus then struck other cars. No passengers were on the bus.

Transit authorities say the bus driver, 34-year-old Lataria Milton, was arrested on charges of assault with a dangerous weapon and driving to endanger.

She is to be arraigned today in Roxbury District Court.
