An 81-year-old man is incritical condition after being struck by a bus outside of the Vendome metro Friday afternoon at about 2:15 p.m.

The pedestrian was struck by a bus as he was walking outside of the West End transit hub.

The man's 79-year-old wife was treated for shock after seeing her spouse suffer the accident.

The same spot was the scene of a fatal accident in December 1998 when a student was killed after a bus mirror struck him on the head.
