Metro Transit bus, truck involved in fatal crash into south Minneapolis home

Minneapolis police are investigating after a Metro Transit bus and a truck were involved in a fatal crash that ended partially in a house in south Minneapolis Monday morning.

Investigators said a bus traveling eastbound on East 38th Street in Minneapolis and the truck collided around 4:30 a.m. before the crash veered into a front yard. 

Visuals on the scene confirmed that the crash involved at least the front porch of a home near the intersection at 10th Avenue South. Metro Transit said that no one was inside the home at the time of the crash.

The driver of the truck died at the scene; they said the vehicle had been speeding and may have failed to stop at a stop sign. 

Investigators said the bus operator sustained non-life-threatening injuries and is expected to recover. The bus wasn't in operation yet, and there were no passengers on board, according to Metro Transit.

Alcohol is not suspected to have played a role, but the investigation is ongoing.

Investigators said they did not immediately release the names of those involved or additional details.
