A TCU shuttle bus backed into a TCU student’s Toyota Corolla at about 2 p.m. Wednesday on the corner of West Cantey and Cockrell. Sara Baker, a sophomore communication studies and accounting major, was taking sophomore Ali Buron, mechanical engineering major, home when the bus she was following stopped, backed up and hit her vehicle.

“We were stopped because the bus stopped,” Baker said. “I put my horn on and the bus smashed into me.”

Bus driver Doris Chappell reversed the bus when a passenger yelled for her to stop, Fort Worth Police Officer L. M. Sanborn said.

“When somebody is yelling at you like that, it’s normal to react suddenly,” Sanborn said.

Chappell declined to talk about the incident.

“There was a certain point when I knew I was going to get hit,” Baker said. “I’m a little shaken up, but I’m just glad nobody was hurt.”

The front end of Baker’s car was damaged, but she was able to drive it from the scene.

TCU hired Five Star Coaches to provide the campus shuttle service, TRAC, TCU Police Sgt. Michael Hanvey said. Hanvey said Five Star Coaches’ insurance is responsible for the damages to Baker’s vehicle.

“My advice is not to get too close to the back of a bus because drivers cannot see behind them,” Sanborn said.
