A man hit by a school bus in central Hamilton in mid-December has died in hospital, according to police.

The deceased, who’s name is being withheld, succumbed to his injuries last Tuesday as a result of the Dec. 14 incident at Cannon Street East and Kenilworth Avenue North in Hamilton.

“A 71-year-old Hamilton man was crossing the roadway when a 57-year-old male driving a small school bus struck him,” a police spokesperson said in a release on Monday.
