Transperth bus driver charged after a pedestrian was struck and killed
A Transperth bus driver has been charged after he fatally struck a pedestrian outside of Perth Arena. A 45-year old man died when he was hit by a bus crossing Wellington St near the Milligan St intersection just after 6.15pm on Friday. He was treated at the scene by paramedics but could not be saved. The bus driver has been charged with careless driving causing death and will appear before the Perth Magistrates Court on July 18. Inspector Vic Hussey told 9News it was a confronting scene. 'It's a very, very sad scene here at the moment,' he said. Witnesses said the driver appeared distressed and was unable to speak in the immediate aftermath of the collision, while others nearby were seen crying on the street. The crash occurred as hundreds of people were arriving at the arena to watch a Super Netball clash between the West Coast Fever and Adelaide Thunderbirds, and as city workers were leaving their offices for the day. 'It's not nice, especially when it's so close to home, and when it's something that could have been avoided,' one resident said. 'I raised this with the police about two months ago because I almost got killed.'

Transperth bus driver charged after fatal collision with pedestrian
A Transperth bus driver has been charged with careless driving after a fatal collision with a pedestrian in the CBD. A 45-year-old man died after he was hit by a bus while crossing the road near Perth Arena on Friday night. The bus was turning right onto Wellington Street from Milligan Street at around 6:15pm when it hit the man, according to police. There was increased foot traffic in the area on Friday night due to a sports event at the Perth Arena, but it is not known whether the man was attending the event. Police allege his death was caused by the bus driver, and on Monday officers charged him with careless driving causing death. The 37-year-old, who lives in the southern Perth suburb of Piara Waters, will appear in court next month. The fatality comes after a woman was killed after being hit by a Transperth bus on the Causeway in East Perth in March.
