Police baffled by death

A 45-year-old Woy Woy man has died after walking into the side of a moving bus on Wednesday, January 12.

The incident occurred in North Burge Rd, near Park Rd, around 1:30pm.

The man was knocked over by the bus and died at the scene from severe head and other multiple injuries including significant chest trauma.

Police are unsure how the accident happened.

"We don't know why," said Inspector George Bradbury of Brisbane Water command.

"Whether he just hadn't seen the bus or was distracted, we just don't know why."

The driver was taken to Gosford hospital suffering shock.

The three passengers on board the bus declined ambulance treatment.

About 100 metres of North Burge Rd was closed for about five hours from 1:30pm to 5:30pm while police investigated.

Police are currently taking statements from witnesses, however, according to Insp Bradbury, few people were at the scene.

Results of the driver's mandatory blood and urine tests are expected to take around six weeks.

However, at this stage, police do not believe the driver was at fault.

Anyone with information can contact Gosford Police on 4323 5599 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
