A 78-year-old woman, hit by a Range Rover. That intersection is a hell scape, having to cross six lanes of traffic with dedicated left and right turn lanes. The street is designed like a "strode".
At least the driver remained, but places like this should not exist. Cities should be designed for the people that live in them, and not cars traveling "through".
Unrelated, those electrified bus lanes, pretty cool (though implementation could be better with a truly separate line to reduce conflict zones).
FYI, Toronto had those back in the 1920 they were called trolley coaches. You can read about it here and see some old pictures if interested.
