A Harvard student whose foot was crushed by a bus outside a Boston club the night before the Harvard-Yale Game said she will likely remain in the hospital for another two weeks.

Rachel M. Riederer ’04 said doctors have told her that she will be able to walk again, although the extent of her mobility is still unknown.

She was leaving a Harvard-Yale party at a Lansdowne Street club—advertised in part by the A.D., the Delphic and the Owl, and also promoted by the Undergraduate Council —around 2 a.m. on Nov. 23 when the incident occurred.

Riederer said she was waiting in a crowd for a shuttle that was taking students back to Harvard.

“The bus pulled up really close to everybody and people started running forward with the bus,” Riederer said. “I fell, and a couple of people fell down on top of me.”

Then, Riederer said, the bus moved forward.

“It stopped with the tire on my leg,” she said. “It was on top of me for what seemed like forever.”

The bus eventually moved off her foot and an ambulance took her to the hospital, where she is being treated for her injuries.

Riederer said doctors classified her injury as a crush injury to the left leg and foot, with her ankle being the only broken bone. She said she has lost one of four muscle groups in her leg.

Riederer said she has had four surgeries since the incident, intended to help remove dead tissue and determine how to fix the leg.

David D. Diaz ’05, who said he witnessed the incident, noted that bystanders intervened to get the charter bus to move.

“The bus was stopped on her ankle, and everyone started screaming. A couple of people told the driver to move, but it took him a while,” Diaz said. “The bus was probably on her leg for five to 10 seconds.”

Riederer, for her part, said she did not know the name of the bus company, and was unsure whether she will take legal action against the bus company.

Friends of Riederer sent an e-mail to House e-mail lists last Wednesday asking witnesses to contact them and help her document the incident.

Diaz said he was unable to pinpoint one cause of the incident.
