A woman has died after she was hit by a bus in a "devastating incident" in Brisbane's city centre.
Emergency services were called about 5pm following reports of a serious crash on Edward Street involving a bus hitting a pedestrian.
A woman was pinned against a wall and died at the scene, a police spokesperson told AAP.
Paramedics assessed nine occupants of the bus and transported five, including the driver, to hospital with minor injuries.

Brisbane Mayor Adrian Schrinner said it was a heart-breaking scenario in a statement on Friday evening.
"This is a truly devastating incident and my heart goes out to everyone impacted by this tragedy.
