A federal judge has sent a wrongful death lawsuit stemming from a SEPTA bus accident, in which one pedestrian was killed and her son seriously injured, to the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas.

U.S. District Judge Juan R. Sanchez of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania granted the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority’s motion for summary judgment on the plaintiffs’ sole federal law claim, but held that he could not decide the remaining state law claims, which would have to be adjudicated in the court of common pleas.
