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.
“There were no children on the bus at the time of this collision.”
The investigation into the fatal collision is on-going and no charges have been laid.
Detectives are still seeking witnesses to the incident, which they say happened after 7 a.m.
