What is the name of the surgical intern who died after being hit by a bus?

The surgical intern who died after being hit by a bus was George O'Malley. He was one of the original surgical interns introduced in Grey's Anatomy, alongside Meredith Grey, Cristina Yang, Izzie Stevens, and Alex Karev.

George was not killed immediately in the collision. He pushed a woman out of the path of a bus and suffered catastrophic injuries himself. Because his face was badly damaged, the hospital staff initially treated him as an unidentified patient. Meredith recognized him after he traced “007” on her hand, his old nickname from intern year.

The storyline unfolds in the Season 5 finale, “Now or Never,” and the Season 6 premiere, “Good Mourning.” George ultimately becomes brain-dead, and his organs are donated. A common mix-up is confusing him with Lexie Grey or Mark Sloan, who also die later in the series, but neither was the surgical intern struck by a bus.
