A pedestrian has been sent to hospital with "serious injuries" after being struck by a Saskatoon Transit bus near the University of Saskatchewan, police say.
In an email, police said officers responded to a report of a bus hitting a man, 30, at about 10:45 Tuesday morning at the intersection of College Drive and Cumberland Avenue North.
The City of Saskatoon said in a news release that Saskatoon Transit is co-operating with a police investigation, and no charges have been laid against the transit driver.
Saskatoon Transit is conducting its own internal investigation to determine the root cause and preventability of the accident, standard practice in the event of a collision.
"Counselling services have been made available to the operator and our transit team affected by this incident," the city said.
In an email, the University of Saskatchewan said it is "reaching out to those affected" and pointed to supports on campus including the Student Wellness Centre and Student Affairs and Outreach.
It said faculty and staff support was available through MindBeacon or LifeWorks.
