PEORIA, Ariz. - Police officials say a man has died after being run over by a bus near 91st Avenue and Olive on March 17.

The pedestrian was crossing a non-crosswalk portion of Olive when he walked between a tow truck and a full size bus that was being towed. The truck, which had stopped at a red light, started moving once the light turned green.

The man, who was in between the two vehicles, was run over by the bus that was in tow, police say.

The pedestrian died after sustaining extensive head injuries, officials said. The driver involved remained at the scene and cooperated with police.

"This appears to be a tragic accident, no arrests have been made, and no citations have been issued," police said on March 18.
