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 saw this vehicle come to a stop after hitting the curb,” said Global News cameraman Corey Callahan. “I was the first one on scene. I tried to help her, I called 911, I was consoling her, making sure she was OK. I was holding her hand at the time and as I was holding her hand the bus came and hit [her] vehicle from behind.”

“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.”
