Man, 18, dies after being struck by city bus in Montreals Plateau neighbourhood – Montreal [Video]

An 18-year-old man has died after he was struck by a city bus Tuesday in the Plateau-Mont-Royal borough in Montreal.

Montreal police say the fatal collision occurred at the intersection of St-Denis and de Rigaud Street during the afternoon rush hour.

The victim was declared dead at the scene by authorities.

The pedestrian and the bus both had a green light, according to witness accounts gathered by police. The crash occurred when the bus made a turn onto St-Denis Street.

Montreal’s public transit authority said its collision investigator was sent to the scene to “determine the causes and circumstances that led to the collision, using video footage from the bus cameras.”

“We will also cooperate fully with the SPVM (Montreal police) in their investigation and hope to obtain more information on the circumstances of the event,” the Société de transport de Montréal (STM) said in a statement Wednesday.
