A San Antonio Independent School District bus was involved in a fatal pedestrian accident Thursday afternoon.
The bus was traveling north in the 400 block of San Pedro Avenue when it struck and killed a man in his 60s just after 2:30 p.m.
The woman driving the bus told police she saw the man on the sidewalk, and then felt a bump and didn't see him anymore. She stopped and saw the man lying in the street. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
