LAS VEGAS (AP) — A 45-year-old woman is dead after police say the car she was driving ran a red light and hit a public transit bus at a busy crossroads west of downtown Las Vegas.

Police say there were no passengers on the RTC of Southern Nevada bus.

But the bus driver and the driver of a pickup were injured and taken to University Medical Center after the 3 p.m. Thursday wreck.

The Clark County coroner didn't immediately make the dead woman's name public.

Las Vegas police say it appears the Audi A6 was speeding before it collided with the RTC bus at Desert Inn and Fort Apache roads. The bus then hit the GMC pickup.

The death was the 94th traffic fatality in Las Vegas police jurisdiction in 2015.
