A bus that was purchased by TransLink was on its way to Metro Vancouver when it was involved in a fatal collision with a car on a Washington state highway early Friday morning.

Rick Johnson of the Washington State Patrol posted on social media that the crash occurred in the westbound lane of Interstate 90, west of North Bend, Wash.

The male driver of the car was killed in the incident. A female passenger was transported to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The female driver of the bus was uninjured.

Johnson said the bus was being delivered from Minnesota to Vancouver.

A spokesperson for Translink said by email "it was a bus we were expecting to receive," but would provide no further information because of the active police investigation.
