MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - A bus driver taking children to school is accused of striking and killing a pedestrian in the Twin Cities and fleeing the scene, police said Tuesday.
The 33-year-old man is jailed on a charge of criminal vehicular homicide, the Star Tribune reported. Police say a woman was killed in the crash about 6:50 a.m. Monday in Brooklyn Center, located north of Minneapolis.
Police have yet to release the identity of the woman or provide further details about the crash. The bus was headed toward Friendship Academy, a Minneapolis charter elementary school. No children aboard were hurt, authorities said.
Formal charges are expected Wednesday.
