A female faculty member riding her bike was hit by a small Call-A-Ride bus at around 5:30 Monday evening at the intersection of Forsyth Boulevard and Tolman Way.

The bicyclist was riding east on the sidewalk along Forsyth when she entered the crosswalk between Mallinckrodt Center and the Psychology Building, where the bus was pulling out onto Forsyth.
