“An ambulance with primary care paramedics and an ambulance with advanced care paramedics responded to the scene,” paramedic public information officer Brian Twaites said in a statement to the Gazette. “Paramedics provided emergency medical treatment to one patient who was transported to hospital in stable condition.”
West Shore RCMP Traffic Unit and frontline members responded to the "reported collision between a BC Transit bus and a cyclist" at 3:59 p.m.
The police department said it cannot provide further comment, as it is an ongoing investigation by the West Shore RCMP Traffic Unit.
BC Transit said safety is its top priority and that it will conduct an internal investigation “as we do with all incidents.”
“Our thoughts are with the cyclist, bus operator, passengers, and all those involved,” it added.
