Independent investigators have been called in to look into a fatal crash after an attempted traffic stop by Victoria police.

At about 1 a.m. Saturday, officers tried to stop a Nissan Titan pickup in the 900-block of Douglas Street, near Courtney Street, that was reported to be driving erratically.

The driver didn’t stop and was involved in a crash with another vehicle and a B.C. Transit bus near the intersection of Douglas and Humboldt Street. The bus was not in service and there were no passengers.
