HOUSTON — METRO Police are investigating the death of a man who was killed by a bus on New Year's night.
It happened just before midnight Sunday on Scott Street near Alabama near the University of Houston campus.
According to METRO, witnesses said the victim was running toward the bus so the driver tried to veer left to avoid hitting him. The man ran into the side of the vehicle, lost his footing and fell and was struck by the bus, METRO said.
He died at the scene.
There were four passengers on the bus when it happened but no one else was hurt.
