SALMON ARM, B.C. — Alarming video from a Salmon Arm business shows the moment an out-of-control semi blows through a red light and hits a BC Transit bus.

The video originates from a surveillance camera at the Barley Station Brew Pub along the Trans Canada Highway.

It was taken on Christmas Eve at about 8:00 a.m.

Six seconds after the traffic light at the nearby intersection turns red, the truck is shown barreling into the frame, slamming into the driver door of the transit bus.
