The pedestrian who was hit by a bus in downtown Denver last week died of his injuries, his family has confirmed.

Jard Davis, 56, was struck by an RTD MallRide at noon on Thursday, March 13, near the intersection of 17th and Champa streets in the Central Business District neighborhood. Davis was a father who worked at a downtown software company, five blocks from the site of the fatal collision.

Davis died the same day he was struck by the bus, according to the Office of the Medical Examiner, which was notified of his death at 6:42 p.m. on Thursday. The cause and manner of death are under investigation.

The Denver Police Department initially said the pedestrian suffered serious injuries but was alive when transported to the hospital on Thursday afternoon. A police spokesperson declined to provide any update on Davis’s condition on Friday, but said he was still alive. Police did not respond to inquiries on Monday or Tuesday.

Police also failed to mention that the collision involved a city bus. In a social media announcement, the police department said the crash occurred between “a motorist and a pedestrian.”
