A person was killed by a Regional Transportation Commission bus Thursday night as it pulled away from a stop in south Las Vegas, police said.

About 8:50 p.m., a bus was at a stop on Silverado Ranch Boulevard near its intersection with Maryland Parkway. Police said a man exited and lost his balance, falling into a gutter area next to the bus. The man fell headfirst into the gutter, and as the bus pulled away from the stop, its rear tires ran him over, Metro said.

The man, who was in his 40s, was dead when authorities arrived, police said.

He was not identified Thursday night by police.
