A 32-year-old moped driver was killed after colliding with an MTA bus in the Bedford Park section of the Bronx Wednesday, according to police.<\/p>\n

Investigators say the victim, identified by friends as Andy Peralta, was riding his moped the wrong way down a one-way street when he crashed head-on into a BX28 bus along West Mosholu Parkway just after 5 p.m.<\/p>\n

Emergency crews rushed to the scene and attempted life-saving measures before transporting Peralta to St. Barnabas Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.<\/p>\n

Eyewitness Jean Molina described the moments after the crash as chaotic.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was a lot of blood right away \u2014 they were rushing him to the hospital,\u201d Molina said. \u201cHe came in hot\u2026 it was an ugly crash.\u201d<\/p>\n

Video from the scene shows the front windshield of the bus shattered and the victim\u2019s moped was destroyed. A delivery bag believed to belong to the driver was also seen at the scene.<\/p>\n

The bus driver remained on scene and is cooperating with investigators.<\/p>\n

Residents say the crash is a stark reminder of ongoing safety concerns in the area near Tracey Towers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve seen enough people get hurt\u2026 I don\u2019t want to see anymore,\u201d one neighbor said.<\/p>\n

Family members of the bus driver told News 12 she is shaken but trying to stay strong following the crash.<\/p>\n

The incident marks at least the second deadly crash involving a delivery driver in the Bronx in less than a month.<\/p>\n

The NYPD\u2019s Collision Investigation Squad is continuing to investigate.<\/p>\n
