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.
