A 46-year-old man died late Monday night after he was struck by an STM bus.

The bus was making a left turn at the intersection of de Castelneau Street and Chateaubriand Avenue in the neighbourhood of Villeray, when it struck the man at around 11 p.m.

No passengers were in the bus at the time.

Montreal police say the man's death was declared at the scene.

The bus driver, a 53-year-old man, was treated for shock but otherwise was not injured.

Montreal police set up a security perimeter so special investigators from the collisions unit could examine the scene.
