West Vancouver police and an injured motorcyclist are hoping someone from the public can help them figure out what caused a crash on the Lions Gate Bridge on Tuesday.

According to police, the West Vancouver rider was heading south onto the bridge in the lane designated for buses and motorcycles around 11:30 a.m. when the accident happened.

“He was merging on and he alleges a tour bus cut him off, causing him to lose control,” said Const. Jeff Wood, West Vancouver police spokesman.

“He dumped the bike on his right side and broke his left wrist.”

The victim wasn’t able to get the bus’s licence plate number or the name of the tour company.

“That’s really what we’re looking for,” Wood said. “We’ve only got one side of the story right now. We have to investigate. We have to talk to the bus driver.”

If found, the driver could face a violation ticket under the Motor Vehicle Act, Wood said. Anyone with info is asked to call 604-925-7300.
