Woman dies after falling under double decker bus

CONFUSION surrounded the tragic death of an elderly Dublin woman last night when she died after an incident involving a double decker bus.

Garda sources said Ellen Murphy, as she was named locally, collapsed while stepping off the No 27 Dublin bus on the northside yesterday morning. The incident happened directly outside the Northside Shopping Centre at a bus stop.

As she fell, her leg went under the double decker bus resulting in a badly dislocated knee. The woman was not described as critical and was brought to Beaumont Hospital.
