An MTA bus hit and killed a pedestrian crossing a Brooklyn street early Thursday, police say.
The bus was turning from Wyckoff Avenue to Palmetto Street in Bushwick at about 5:15 a.m. when the rear wheel portion of the vehicle hit a man in his 40s crossing Myrtle and Wyckoff avenues, according to the NYPD.
Police say the bus driver may have not known he hit a person and continued down Palmetto Street for a short distance. When he found out that the bus hit someone, he stopped.
The pedestrian was taken to Wyckoff Heights Medical Center with severe trauma. He was pronounced dead on arrival.
No arrests have been made.

One person is dead after being struck by an MTA bus.
According to police, a man in his 40s was hit in the middle of an intersection at Myrtle and Wyckoff avenues in Bushwick, which is right on the Queens border. It happened at around 5:15 a.m.
A transit worker on the scene says the bus involved was a Q58 that was making a right turn onto Palmetto Street when it hit the pedestrian.
A cab driver who also witnessed the accident says he drove after the bus because the driver didn't even realize he had hit someone.
Authorities say the investigation is ongoing, and no arrests have been made.
