QUEENS — An 85-year-old woman was seriously injured when she was hit by a bus while crossing Queens Boulevard at 108th Street in Forest Hills Wednesday morning, authorities said.

The accident occurred at just before 10 a.m., when the woman was hit by a Q64 bus, which was making a right turn from 108th Street onto Queens Boulevard, said Marisa Baldeo, a spokeswoman for the MTA.
