A man has died after a fatal crash on the Luton and Dunstable Busway.
At around 12.30am this morning (Thursday) a bus had been travelling eastbound on the busway towards Luton, adjacent to Hatters Way, when it was involved in a collision with a pedestrian. Emergency services arrived on scene, but the pedestrian – a man in his 40s – died shortly after. His next of kin has been informed and is being supported by specialist officers.
Officers are currently trying to piece together the events and have urged the public for any information on the moments just before the incident.
From the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, and Hertfordshire Serious Collision Investigation Unit, Detective Constable Ben Amondsen stated: “Our deepest condolences are with the man’s friends and family.”
“Anyone who may have seen anything before the collision is someone we would like to speak with, especially the passengers, as they had all left the bus before the police arrived.”
“We need the public’s assistance to determine the events leading up to this tragic incident, but we are currently following lines of inquiry.”
