| First Fatal Crash of 2010
VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - Just four days in and Vancouver has already recorded its first traffic-related death of the year.
Police confirm a woman crossing the street at East Hastings and Kootenay this morning was hit by a bus. Officers won't reveal her age or identity and stress the investigation is only in its early stages. They will say the driver of the bus did have a green light while trying to make a left turn when it happened. Eastbound Hastings is still closed to traffic and we'll let you know when it reopens with a traffic alert. http://www.news1130.com/news/local/a...east-vancouver

I got a couple pics of the scene today at around 8.45 with my cameraphone; I'll upload if I get the chance. Took another 30 minutes to get to work, but RIP lady. Posted via RS Mobile | |

I'm going to say the bus driver is at fault here. The report says he had the green light to go, BUT the traffic light only has 3 lamps (R, Y, G). There is no fourth "turning" lamp. Therefore, the driver is at fault...

Doesnt need a left turn signal for the bus to do the turn, as long as it's clear, the bus is good to go.

Since you do drive, you should know that if you are making a left turn you need to yield to all forms of traffic (including pedestrian).

^ exactly what I was thinking. Some people JUST have to catch the bus...don't they realize being late (and catching the next bus) is a better option...than being hit and being injured or possible death!
either way, RIP.

RIP nonetheless

Oh what.
I could also waste my time and unscramble 1/4/2010 into some Chinese superstitious crap, but you get the point.

She can have 100,000 million dollar waiting for her on the other side of the road, she jay walked.
From the last 2 pictures, and since buses only U-turn into the loop from the east boung Hastings, I believe the impact happened on the right hand side of the bus, ON THE MIDDLE LANE of Hastings St East bound. If the lady ran in front of the bus to "catch it", there is no way the bus driver could have seen her simply because the driver was physically not possible.
If the bus driver has the right to left turn AND the time to make it, he/she did nothing wrong short of underestimating the stupidity of human being.
