A Massachusetts man has died after being hit by a bus at Walt Disney World in Orlando.

Robert Krueger, 69, of Yarmouth Port, Mass., was in the parking lot at the Port Orleans resort at the time of the accident. He died at Orlando Regional Medical Center.

Authorities from the Florida Highway Patrol say when he was hit Krueger was not in a crosswalk, and the bus had the right of way. An investigation was underway, but the bus driver was not expected to be charged.

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

This is the second death at Walt Disney World involving a bus this year. A Florida boy was hit and killed by a bus in April when he was riding a bike near Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort campground.

Yes, I actually just read this article on the DIS!!! I can't believe it happened again in such a short period of time. It must be very traumatic to the bus driver, the man's family (especially those he was travelling with) and also the passengers on the bus. Can you imagine being at Disney & witnessing such a tragedy?

Condolences to all involved...

My sympathy and condolences to the family members of Robert Krueger. Sympathy to all the was involved in this accident.
I really don't know what's going on with Disney World with all these accidents and stuff but Disney better put their act together fast. Not a very good reputation if you ask me.
