A 60-year-old man has died after being struck by a transit bus in South Vancouver on Wednesday morning.

The cause of the crash has not been confirmed, but the Vancouver Police Department said the bus driver remained at the scene.
"Speed and impairment are not considered factors," the VPD said in a news release.
