DOUBLE Fatal accident on Lions Gate Bridge

Updated 6:15 a.m.: The Lions Gate Bridge is closed early Thursday after a fatal crash between a transit bus and another vehicle just before midnight.

West Vancouver police say it appears a car headed north midspan on the bridge lost control and spun into the southbound lanes, hitting a West Vancouver Transit bus.

"The Jaws of Life were used to extract the driver and passenger from the vehicle that struck the bus," said West Vancouver Sgt. Ed Pearce in a release.

Both were rushed to hospital but died of their injuries, said Pearce.

The bus driver and three of the 14 passengers on board were taken for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.

does anyone know of the names of the people who died in the crash? I looked at my fb news feed this morning and a lot of people were posting farewell status messages to this guy I knew in high school.

Wow, that's some serious impact. Yeah, that car is mangled, but I'm amazed at how much the bus is damaged. The car must have been flying over the bridge before losing control.

holy fuck! RIP.. pictures like that definitely encourage me to drive safer, a few minutes of fun it not worth my life, especially with a passenger.. and if they hit a small passenger car it could have easily killed more people

Obviously speed + reckless driving + road condition contributed to the biggest factor of the crash / death.....but doing a quick search on Google.....these Mazda 6's don't exactly have the best safety standards. And if it's the 2003-06 ones, they are even worse: IIHS-HLDI: Mazda 6

What are you trying to insinuate here? I would imagine they were going upwards of 80km/h and the bus at least a decent 60km/h, pretty sure most cars on the road were not designed to take that kind of impact.
