OTTAWA (Reuters) – A passenger train and a double-decker city bus collided on the outskirts of Ottawa on Wednesday, killing six people on the bus and critically injuring 11 more, emergency officials said.
The front of the red double-decker bus was sheared off and the engine of the VIA Rail train had derailed, but the train cars remained upright with little noticeable damage.
Ambulances and fire trucks swarmed the scene, and rail officials were helping train passengers off the train.
