Pedestrian dead after collision with bus on Broad Street

A man is dead after he was struck by a Regina Transit bus on Broad Street on Wednesday afternoon.

Just before 2 p.m., the Regina Police Service said the southbound lanes of Broad Street between 15th and College avenues had been closed while officers investigated the collision.

Just after 3:30 p.m., the police said the man involved had been pronounced dead at hospital.

Traffic flow is back to normal now in the 2300 block of Broad Street. (The southbound lanes were closed earlier after a collision.) This is now a fatal collision; we received word a short while ago that the victim was declared deceased. Investigation continues.
