Emergency responders said there were no students on the bus, just the bus driver, as flames broke out on Foster Road around 3 p.m.
Officials tell Channel 11 the driver hit a pole and brought down power lines on the bus, which then caught fire. The driver ran out of the bus, stepped on the wires and died.
The driver was out doing a dry run before school started next week at Riverside School District.
The bus company, First Student, provided the following statement:
"This is certainly tragic and from everyone at First Student our thoughts and prayers are with the family of this driver."
