I've seen a few reports this morning of a man being killed after being hit by a bus at Disney World.  Apparently, it happened at Port Orleans (Riverside or French Quarter, not sure) -- he walked right out in front of an oncoming bus (the driver has been cleared of any charges).

Disney president Meg Crofton issued a statement, obviously everyone is very shaken up.  I can only imagine such a tragic thing happening at Disney, but especially at Christmas-time...

It was Riverside.  Here is the article from the Orlando Sentinel

Massachusetts man dies after walking in front of Disney bus at Port Orleans resort

A Massachusetts tourist was killed Sunday when he walked in front of a bus at Walt Disney World's Port Orleans resort, the Florida Highway Patrol said.

According to witnesses, Robert Krueger, 69, of Yarmouth Port, Mass., on Cape Cod, was walking alone when he stepped into the path of a Disney bus traveling through the parking lot of the resort about 5:50 p.m., said Sgt. Kim Montes, a Florida Highway Patrol spokeswoman.

The front of the bus struck Krueger and knocked him to the ground, a report says.

He died at Orlando Regional Medical Center, Montes said.

The driver, Rosemary Kincaid, 57, of Lake Alfred, had passengers at the time of the accident. No injures were reported. Montes said she didn't know how many people were onboard.

The crash is under investigation, but Montes said charges were unlikely. Krueger was not in a crosswalk, and the bus had the right-of-way, the highway patrol said.

Walt Disney Resort President Meg Crofton issued a brief statement on the accident.

"We offer our deepest condolences to the guests' family and loved ones," the statement reads. "We are doing all we can for them during this difficult time."

On April 1, a Disney bus hit and killed a 9-year-old St. Petersburg boy, Chase Brubaker, as he rode his bicycle with a friend at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort campground. The highway patrol blamed the accident on the fact that the tires on the boy's bicycle had little or no air in them.
