Vancouver driver dies after head-on crash with bus

One person is dead and several others were taken to hospital after a minivan crashed head-on with a transit bus in Vancouver.

Const. Brian Montague says the bus was slowing for a stop when it was hit.

The driver of the van died at the scene.

Montague says five passengers aboard the bus were treated in hospital for minor injuries but the bus driver was not injured.

The fatal collision happened during the lunch hour along a busy transit corridor, which was blocked for several hours as investigators gathered evidence.

Police are not currently releasing any details about the deceased driver.
