SEATTLE — A woman was taken to Harborview Medical Center after she was struck by a bus Sunday night.

The bus hit the woman, who ended up in the second lane.

The bus also came to rest in the second lane after hitting the Kia. The Kia pulled over on the right shoulder.

The severity of the woman’s injuries is not known. She is 28 years old and from Lynnwood.
