I was close to the crash when it happened. I heard the police rushing to the crash sight.

The bus' front end looks completely mangled! Very scary indeed.

As of 2 hours ago, 6 confirmed dead.

So, do they use these double deckers for normal morning metro transit buses?  Never been a fan of their safety generally.

I don't see any of them here and haven't in many years.

What is the cause of the accident?  Failed signs/train crossing?   Bus parked on the tracks?

Sad.

From what is being speculated:

The bus driver had a heart attack or he was just not paying attention/day dreaming.

Seems quite a bit is on lockdown right now. They're still unsure what happened other than presumably the bus driver went through the barrier and passengers shouting to stop.

Reddit is love/hate.   Hard to get concise info blocks.

Has there been some news since yesterday on the cause and have there been additional fatalities?  Saw the double decker photo just now, yikes.

Sad. I can't help but think though, that this just confirms your identity.

And whom may that be?

Lots of people live in Canada.

Please, elaborate
