CCTV footage circulating on social media shows the moment a female passenger stumbled and fell while exiting a Public Transport Service Corporation (PTSC) bus, becoming pinned against by a wheel as the vehicle moved off.

The incident occurred on the San Fernando/Guayaguayare route, in the vicinity of Palmyra.

In the video, the woman appears to lose her footing as she steps off the bus. As the vehicle begins to pull away, she is seen trapped near the wheel before the driver stops. Other passengers and the driver quickly render assistance, pulling her from the area. The woman’s left arm was crushed under the wheel of the bus in the footage.

In a statement, the PTSC said it was aware of the “unfortunate incident” and confirmed that an internal review has been initiated in line with established standard operating procedures.

The corporation said the matter is also being investigated by the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS), with whom it is cooperating fully.

“The passenger was transported to the San Fernando General Hospital and is presently receiving medical attention,” the statement said. “At this time, the primary concern remains the health and well-being of all those involved.”

The PTSC acknowledged that footage of the incident is currently in circulation but said no further details could be provided at this time, citing due process and respect for the ongoing investigations.
