The Port Authority of Allegheny County said the sole passenger was treated Monday morning for a minor injury. The bus driver was not hurt.

According to Port Authority officials, the back half of the city’s transit buses are the heaviest part because that’s where the engines are located.
As of this writing, the bus remains in the hole.
