A 83-year-old pensioner died days after falling on a bus in Liverpool, authorities confirmed. The incident occurred on October 3, when the man was the sole passenger on the vehicle. He was hospitalized and passed away a week later. Police are investigating the crash, with the force's serious collision team involved in the inquiry.
The pensioner, identified as John McGuirk, was reportedly in stable condition after the fall but later succumbed to his injuries. Emergency services were called to the scene, and the bus was taken out of service for inspection. No other passengers were injured in the incident.
This is the second such incident involving elderly passengers in Liverpool this year. In July, a 79-year-old woman suffered serious injuries after falling from a bus in the city. Both cases have prompted local officials to review safety measures on public transport. The police have not yet released further details about the cause of the fall or the condition of the bus.
