The couple was crossing the street when a Route 64 bus was making a turn and slammed right into them as they were in the crosswalk, police told NBC10. A Philadelphia Police Sgt. was able to remove the man from under the bus with the help of the man’s wife and performed CPR on the man, police said. The man, identified by police as a 35 year old, was pronounced dead and his wife was taken to a nearby hospital, officials explained. Her condition remains unknown at this time.
