Man dies after being struck by Transperth bus outside Perth Arena
A 45-year-old man has died after he was hit by a bus while crossing the road near the Perth Arena on Friday night.
A Public Transit Authority bus was turning right onto Wellington Street from Milligan Street at around 6:15pm when it hit the man who was crossing the road.
He sustained critical injuries and died at the scene.
The 37-year-old bus driver was not injured and is assisting police with its investigation.
Major Crash investigators are appealing for anyone with information or dashcam footage of the scene to contact police.
There was increased foot traffic in the area on Friday night due to a sports event at the Perth Arena, but it is not yet known whether the man was attending the event.
It comes after a woman was killed after being hit by a Transperth bus on the Causeway in East Perth in March.
