TTC driver charged after bus slams into streetcar

police tape


A Toronto transit driver has been charged with dangerous driving after his bus collided head on with a streetcar.

The crash happened Saturday morning near Danforth and Main. Four people were reported injured.

The driver of the bus has not been named by police.

Speaking to the CBC, TTC chief operating officer Gary Shortt said "I don't think there's any concern about getting on a bus, streetcar or subway train for that matter. We've got an excellent record. It's unfortunate this happened, but I've got full confidence in our drivers and vehicles."

This latest incident comes on the heels of another accident in Scarborough. A 14-year-old girl was run over and killed by a TTC bus earlier this month.
