A pedestrian had a very close call when they were nearly hit by a TransLink bus on Tuesday night.

Dashcam footage posted on YouTube by user CB’s Dashcam shows the bus taking a left at the intersection at Kingsway and McKay Street in Burnaby.

As the bus is turning, it narrowly misses hitting a pedestrian crossing the street at a marked crosswalk.

“Shot on January 15, 9:05 PMish at Kingsway at McKay, a Coast Mountain Bus almost runs over a passenger legally crossing the street. I couldn’t believe my eyes” reads the YouTube description.

“Our operators are trained to thoroughly scan intersections and crosswalks for pedestrians before initiating left turns.”

Drews said that no injuries were reported.
