Daniel Foss, 37, died after he was hit by a bus in September 2013

A bus company was worried about the safety of pedestrians on a Swansea road more than two years before a man died after being hit by a bus.

A second pre-inquest hearing into the death of Daniel Foss heard First Cymru wrote a letter to Swansea council in April 2011 expressing concern about people crossing the bus lanes.

Mr Foss, 37, from Reynoldston, Gower, was struck by a National Express bus on The Kingsway in September 2013.

An inquest will be held in September.

Colin Phillips, acting senior coroner for Swansea, told Thursday's hearing he will be calling an independent road safety expert to give evidence at that inquest.

He also asked to see all council road safety reports about The Kingsway that were written between 2008 and 2014.
