Overview

• A TransLink bus struck three pedestrians at about 3:30 p.m. on May 28 near the Horseshoe Bay ferry terminal, killing a four-year-old boy and injuring two women.
• The boy’s mother remains in critical condition at Lions Gate Hospital while a family friend is listed in stable condition after receiving emergency treatment.
• West Vancouver Police have impounded the bus for mechanical inspection and enlisted the Integrated Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Service and the Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement branch in their investigation.
• Authorities say early findings indicate speed was not a contributing factor and that the bus driver is cooperating fully with investigators.
• Local officials cancelled the Taste of the Bay event, and BC Ferries and TransLink have reconfigured services and established a temporary bus stop to assist the community.
