Investigators are trying to figure out how a transit bus in West Vancouver, B.C., managed to roll down a hill and into someone’s yard with two passengers aboard.

West Vancouver police said the Blue Bus was parked at a bus stop with the two passengers aboard when the driver got up to fix one of the vehicle’s doors.

The bus began rolling down the hill, causing the driver to fall out of the vehicle, police said. The driver wasn’t able to get back in, and the bus rolled slowly into a yard where it came to a stop when it hit a retaining wall, according to police.

The District of West Vancouver said the incident is being “thoroughly investigated,” and that it was grateful no one was seriously injured.
