Police say a 28-year-old man from Oshawa has died after his vehicle crashed head-on with a public transit bus on Friday.

Durham Regional Police say they were called to the area of Victoria Street East and South Blair Street in Whitby after a car collided with a Durham Region Transit bus.

They say the driver of the car was pronounced dead on the scene, while the bus driver was treated for minor injuries.

Police say there were no passengers on the bus at the time.

Shortly before police were called to the collision at 6:55 p.m., Ontario Provincial Police say they were responding to multiple collisions where the driver allegedly failed to remain at the scene involving the same car in the westbound lanes of Highway 401 between Simcoe Street and Thickson Road.

Police are asking anyone who witnessed the bus collision to come forward.
