Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 23 Jun, 2023 09:39 AM

A man who was crossing a Surrey street mid-block is in hospital with critical injuries after being hit by a bus.

Surrey R-C-M-P say it happened early this morning (on 96th Avenue) just a few blocks east of Surrey Memorial Hospital.

The driver of the privately owned bus remained at the scene and police say alcohol and speed do not appear to be factors.

Investigators are appealing for dash-cam video taken in the area between 2:30 and 3 a-m, along 9th Avenue between 140th Street and Fraser Highway.
