A TransLink bus crashed into a front yard in Surrey, B.C. Tuesday morning after trying to avoid a collision with another vehicle.
Surrey police say the crash happened around 5:15 a.m. at the intersection of 132 Street and 88 Avenue.
The out-of-service bus was heading northbound on 132 Street when it nearly collided with a vehicle heading west from 88 Avenue, police say. To avoid a crash, the bus swerved onto the curb, knocked over a streetlight before lodging itself into the bushes of the corner home’s yard.

One person was treated by paramedics at the scene for minor injuries.
Northbound lanes on 132 Street were briefly shut down as police investigated, the bus was recovered, and the pole was removed from the BC Hydro wires it had fallen onto.
Metro Vancouver Transit police are now leading the investigation, and do not believe speed or impairment were factors in the crash.
