A 47 year-old man from Andhra Pradesh died on the spot after being struck by a bus at Boston's Logan International Airport where he had gone to pick up a friend.
Massachusetts State Police said Vishwachand Kolla of Lexington was standing outside his car near the curb of Terminal B last week when a Dartmouth Transportation motor coach hit and dragged him, along with the driver's side of his SUV, CBS News reported.
An off-duty nurse rushed to help Kolla but the father of two died at the scene.
Police have not released the name of the bus driver, a 54-year-old woman who is assisting the police with investigations, and has declined any medical attention.
After the accident, the passengers were rushed off the bus and all bus service was canceled for the rest of the night at Terminal B.
"Our deepest sympathies are with everyone impacted by this evening's incident at Logan Airport. We're working in conjunction with the Massachusetts State Police and Massport to gather further information," Dartmouth Coach said in a statement.
