Out-of-control bus smashes into cars on snowy Coquitlam street (VIDEO)

Feb 1 2023, 3:35 am

Slippery road conditions Tuesday morning caused a dicey incident in Coquitlam as residents witnessed an out-of-control collision involving a TransLink bus.

Surveillance footage caught the startling moments as a TransLink bus turned right but slipped on the road covered in snow. The rear of the bus is then seen swinging to the left — nearly clipping a vehicle driving in the opposite lane.

While the vehicle narrowly escapes, the cars behind it are hit by the bus.

The cars are pushed by the bus as it continues to slowly rolls away and down the street.

Coquitlam RCMP confirmed the incident took place on Laurentian Crescent between Seaforth Crescent and Cutler Crescent around 8 am.

Mounties added, one driver was injured and transported to hospital. Meanwhile, TransLink reported there were no reported injuries to the bus operator or customers onboard.

This incident remains under investigation.

Police are calling on anyone with information or dash cam video to contact the Coquitlam RCMP at 604-945-1550.
