BULLS HEAD — A man died after he crashed into an MTA bus early Tuesday morning, police said.

The 32-year-old man was driving a Lexus SUV northbound on Victory Boulevard, near Signs Road, when he crashed into the driver's side of an MTA bus driving the opposite direction, police said.

The Lexus then struck a fence and the driver was ejected from the car, police said. EMS pronounced the driver dead at the scene.

The 52-year-old bus driver was transported to Richmond University Medical Center with a non-life threatening injury to his left leg, police said. One passenger was on the bus during the crash but wasn't hurt, police said.

Police had not released the name of the victim as of Tuesday morning.
