Police said they received reports that a Ford Explorer travelling westbound on 103A Avenue drove through a red light before colliding with an ETS DATS bus that was northbound on 95 Street.
The Explorer subsequently travelled onto the northwest sidewalk and collided with an electrical box before striking and killing a pedestrian.
The 48-year-old male DATS bus driver was taken to hospital with serious, non-life-threatening injuries. There were no passengers on the bus at the time of the collision.
The 30-year-old female driver of the Ford Explorer was also taken to hospital with serious, non-life-threatening injuries.
