He said a Brampton transit bus travelling the opposite direction had then struck the man.
“We arrived on scene, he had some pretty serious injuries so paramedics requested air ambulance. He was airlifted to a trauma centre in Toronto where he listed in serious condition,” Sohi said.
The driver of the bus remained on scene following the collision.
“There were also passengers on the bus and they’re also providing police with statements.”
