1:55pm–#Bridgeport News: A motorcyclist has died after colliding with a GBT city bus at Jane and Street and Nobel Avenue.    Police have downloaded video from the bus and believe from that video that the motorcyclist ran the stop sign and began to “dump” the bike when it entered the intersection and had already hit the ground before hitting the bus.    The video shows the 9 year veteran bus driver operating properly and safely according to a police press release.  The bus driver was not issued any citation or ticket.  The video shows the bus operator had stopped to pick-up passengers and departed from the stop into the intersection when the cyclist ran the stop sign on Jane street and struck the front corner of the bus.  The bus driver and two passengers were transported to the hospital with minor injuries.
