TransLink bus crashes into front yard of Surrey, B.C., home
Metro Vancouver Transit Police say a TransLink bus crashed into a traffic pole and came to a stop in the front yard of Surrey, B.C., home on Tuesday morning. Transit police said they responded to an incident involving a TransLink bus just after 5 a.m. PT at the intersection of 132 Street and 88 Avenue. They said an out-of-service transit bus was reportedly travelling northbound on 132 Avenue when the driver tried to avoid a westbound vehicle entering the intersection. The bus hit a traffic pole and then came to a stop in a residential yard, police said. No one was injured and no passengers were on board as the bus was out of service. "Speed and impairment are not believed to be factors in the collision," Metro Vancouver Transit Police Const. Amanda Steed wrote in a statement. She added that there were "no reports of damage to residential property." The intersection was closed for part of Tuesday morning as emergency responders worked to remove the bus, with transit police saying the traffic pole had fallen onto B.C. Hydro wires.

No injuries after bus crashes into Surrey, B.C., front yard, police say
File image: A "not in service" sign is seen on a TransLink bus on Tuesday, Dec. 17, 2024. (CTV News) There were some alarming moments when a TransLink bus came barreling into the front yard of a home in Surrey, B.C., early Tuesday morning. Authorities said the bus driver veered off the road around 5 a.m. to avoid crashing into another vehicle at the intersection of 132 Street and 88 Avenue. While the incident is still under investigation, Metro Vancouver Transit Police said the bus was entering the intersection from the south as another driver came through from the east. 'The operator attempted to avoid a collision, and in the process made contact with a traffic pole before coming to a stop in a residential yard,' said Const. Amanda Steed, in an email. No one was injured, authorities said. The bus was not in service at the time, so there were no passengers on board. The collision did send the traffic pole down onto BC Hydro wires, forcing crews to temporarily close the intersection, but traffic has since resumed. Police said there was no apparent damage to the home itself.
