TAUNTON, Mass. (WJAR) — On day two of the Greater Attleboro Taunton Regional Transit Authority strike outside of its headquarters in Taunton, a worker was allegedly hit by one of the busses.
He was seen in a video with other workers yelling at one of the drivers when a bus pulled up.
"One of them came out in a transit bus, one of our busses, and a mechanic crossed the street in the crosswalk, and he was hit by the bus with the bike rack," said Mark Martin, a transit operator with GATRA who is currently on strike.
The worker who was hit was taken to the hospital. The incident comes after GATRA recently hired 40 new drivers to temporarily replace those who are on strike.
