Our truck had pulled over to help the woman in an SUV who had skidded out and hit the median on the highway going eastbound just past 160 Street.
As our camera operator was checking to see if she was OK, a TransLink community shuttle bus also rear-ended the SUV.
“I actually didn’t see the bus coming, it hit us at the last second. If he had hit us any differently, it would have been a completely different story.”

“When you’re in the news business and you’re the first one on scene, your first instinct is to get out and help,” said Callahan. “And that’s what I did. I hope she’s OK. She sounded like she was OK, she was talking to me, she was conscious.”
