LRT train cars collide in maintenance yard
CTV
Two LRT train cars collided Monday morning in the maintenance yard, but the City of Ottawa says it is not expected to affect the return-to-service plan.
In a memo, Transit Services chief safety officer Brandon Richards said one light rail vehicle in the maintenance facility was towing another as part of regular maintenance operations when, at around 10:30 a.m., the two cars collided, damaging the windshield, the wipers, and exterior panels of both vehicles. The coupler on one of the train cars was also damaged.
No one was hurt.
An investigation into the root cause is underway. The City also contacted the Transportation Safety Board of Canada, which assessed the incident. No follow up from the TSB is expected.
"This incident has been reported to the Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB), and will not have an impact on the O-Train Line 1’s return-to-service plan," Richards wrote.
