A woman is dead after being struck by an OC Transpo bus in west Ottawa Monday morning.

The incident happened around 6:50 a.m. Monday near the intersection of Baseline Road and Rockway Crescent.

Ottawa paramedics said the woman, later identified as 25-year-old Victoria Buchanan, didn't have any vital signs when they arrived and they were unable to resuscitate her.
