Summary

A collision involving two Calgary Transit buses and six other vehicles occurred on Thursday afternoon in the 800 block of Saddletowne Circle N.E. in northeast Calgary. Three people died and 19 were injured, including one with life-altering injuries and a Calgary Police Service member with minor injuries. Thick plumes of ash-grey smoke were seen rising from the scene. One of the buses caught fire, with flames quickly enveloping its roof. According to police, a northbound bus collided with a white vehicle, which struck a black vehicle, then a cube van, before hitting a second bus; the impact pushed the second bus across the street into three additional vehicles. One bus was powered by compressed natural gas. One bus driver exited immediately; the second driver was trapped and required extrication. Emergency crews from a nearby firehall extinguished the blazes on both buses. The area was closed to traffic, with partial reopening occurring by early evening. The cause of the collision remains under investigation.
