A woman has died in hospital after being hit by a bus in Dundee.

The 49-year-old female pedestrian suffered a severe head injury in the collision with an Xplore Dundee service on Johnston Avenue at about 11am yesterday.

A spokesperson for Police Scotland confirmed on Friday morning that the woman had died from her injuries last night.

The woman’s name has not been released.

An Xplore Dundee spokeswoman said: “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the woman who has lost her life in this incident.

“We’re offering our support to them and to the driver involved.

“We are working closely with the police as they continue their investigation.”

The location of the collision, the junction between Strathmore Avenue and Johnston Avenue, was closed until around 4pm on Thursday while police investigated the incident.

Police Scotland has confirmed enquiries into the full set of circumstances of the incident are ongoing and appealed for anyone who may have information that could assist officers with their enquiries to contact Tayside Division on 101.

Officers were seen speaking to Xplore staff, businesses and eyewitnesses.

An area in front of the double-decker bus was cordoned off with police tape and traffic cones.

As with all sudden deaths, a report has been submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.
