Defendants established their entitlement to judgment as a matter of law, in this action where plaintiff alleges that she was injured when a white truck crossed near the bus on which she was riding, the bus driver braked, and the alleged stop caused her arm to twist and hit the pole that she was holding on to as she stood on the bus. Defendants submitted evidence showing that the bus was just pulling out of the bus lane when the alleged stop occurred due to traffic, and there was nothing extraordinary or violent about the stop under the circumstances.
