A woman died in a traffic incident in downtown Vancouver Tuesday afternoon.
Sgt. Steve Addison with the Vancouver Police Department confirmed the woman, a pedestrian, was hit and killed by a Charter Bus Lines coach at West Georgia Street at Cardero Street.
He said the driver was very distraught and was taken to the hospital.
Tarps could be seen on the ground at the scene of the collision.
When reached by phone Tuesday, the vice president of Charter Bus Lines would only say the company is “working with the local authorities” and would provide more information soon.
Global News has reached out to BC Ambulance for more information.
