  • Collision between a bus and a 41 year old male pedestrian leave him with life-threatening injuries

Burnaby RCMP is investigating a collision between a bus and pedestrian that has resulted in critical, potentially life-threatening injuries to a 41-year-old man.

The pedestrian was walking near the Sperling-Burnaby Lake Station Bus Loop when he was struck by a southbound transit bus turning into the bus loop just after 6 p.m. last night. 

It was dark and raining at the time of the crash, but all contributing factors in this incident are still under investigation. The bus driver is cooperating with police.

Burnaby RCMP is appealing for anyone with dash cam video from the area near the Sperling-Burnaby Lake Station Bus Loop taken between 6 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. on February 16, 2023 to contact investigators.

Witnesses who have not yet spoken with police are asked to call Burnaby RCMP.
