Deaf woman in wheelchair struck by Votran bus near DeLand - Breaking News
A 66-year-old deaf woman using a wheelchair was hit by a Votran bus this afternoon when she attempted to cross a section of International Speedway Boulevard that is under construction, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Martha Delgado of DeLand was riding a power wheelchair and attempted to cross U.S. 92 from south to north near Kepler Road at 12:25 p.m., said Sgt. Kim Montes, FHP spokeswoman.
That area of the roadway is under construction and there is one lane running in each direction, Montes said.
The bus was headed westbound on International Speedway, Montes said.
"She pulled out in front of the bus," Montes said.
Delgado, who does not speak English, was taken to Halifax Health Medical Center with serious injuries that are not life threatening.
Charges are pending, Montes said.
