When officers arrived, they found a man suffering from serious injuries.
The man, who was reportedly riding the motorcycle, was taken to a hospital where he died.
Police identified the motorcyclist Saturday as 20-year-old Mike Do.
The preliminary investigation shows Do was driving westbound on Peoria Ave when the Paratransit vehicle pulled in front of him while attempting to turn left. Do struck the vehicle, was ejected from the motorcycle, and hit a third vehicle stopped in traffic.
Police believe Do was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash.
It's not yet clear how many people were on the bus at the time of the crash.
The driver of the Paratransit vehicle stayed on the scene and cooperated with investigators. The driver did not show any signs of intoxication.
The crash remains under investigation.
