SURREY — A Coast Mountain bus hit a 67-year-old woman in Newton on Monday afternoon after she stepped into its path.

Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet said she might have been trying to pick something up from the roadway.

"For some reason she put herself in front of the bus," he said. "We believe, based on the information we received, that the driver didn't do anything wrong."

The woman, whose name hasn't been released, sustained head injuries, a broken arm and a broken hand.

The collision happened at 1 p.m., on 140th Street near 78A Avenue.

Surrey RCMP collision analysts are continuing their investigation.

Later Monday, two men were struck by a minivan while they were crossing in a crosswalk on Fraser Highway at 159th Street, at about 6 p.m.

A 79-year-old man was taken to Royal Columbian Hospital with a broken leg while the 32-year-old man's injuries were negligible.

The woman driving the minivan was ticketed for failing to yield to pedestrians.
