PEORIA, Ariz. (AP) - A pedestrian has been killed after getting hit by a full-sized bus that was being towed, according to Peoria police.
They said the man was crossing a roadway Wednesday night and wasn’t in a crosswalk when he was struck.
Police said the tow truck had been stopped at a red light. The man apparently walked between the tow truck and the attached bus and was between the vehicles when the traffic light turned green.
The pedestrian then was run over by the bus being towed, according to police who said the man died at the scene.
His name and age haven’t been released yet.
Police said the tow truck driver has fully cooperated with the investigation and impairment and speed are not considered factors in the fatal accident.
