How did the back of a bus kill someone?

Due to the distance between the rear wheels and the back of a bus, you get a thing called "tail swing".

During a sharp turn, the back end of a bus can pivot out and hit something with the side of the bus behind the rear wheels.

I don't know if this is what happened, but that's how it could happen.

Humans are pretty delicate. Take a fall, hit your head the wrong way, and that’s it…

Probably reversed over or into him.

I've never seen a Muni bus go in reverse.
