A University of Texas student who stepped onto Guadalupe Street during a game students were playing with foam swords was hit by a Capital Metro bus that ran a red light. The event, called “Foam Sword Friday,” was started by students at the University of Texas School of Architecture about four or five years ago, it is held twice a year on the last day of classes before finals as a “way to release pressure before the stress of final exams,” “Its a fun easy-going event where students stand across the street from each other and wave foam swords and the lights turn red they run across and club each other.”
The student suffered minor injuries and was taken to St. David’s Medical Center. The bus was traveling north in the right lane of Guadalupe Street near 22nd Street at 12:48 p.m. when the crash happened. The bus driver, whose name was not released, received a citation for running a red light.
