A woman was run over and killed by an MBTA bus early yesterday afternoon in Harvard Square.
Mrs. Ruth B. Dow, 64, of Belmont was trying to board the bus at 1:50 p.m. as it began to pull out onto Mass. Ave. from the parking area adjacent to the kiosk and across the street from Lehman Hall.
Apparently the driver did not hear her knocking at the back door and began to accelerate. Mrs. Dow slipped and fell beneath the vehicle and her head was crushed by the right rear wheel.
She was taken by emergency ambulance to the Cambridge City Hospital and pronounced dead on arrival. As of last night, no charges had been pressed against the driver of the bus.
