January 2019 accident On January 11, 2019, an
OC Transpo double-decker bus, operating on route 269 to Kanata, crashed into the bus shelter at Westboro Station. The crash killed three people and injured twenty-three others, and part of the upper deck of the bus was torn off on impact. The collision was investigated by the
Ottawa Police Service, with assistance from the
Transportation Safety Board; they cleared the city of Ottawa and OC Transpo of criminal wrongdoing. The police arrested the driver and charged her with three counts of dangerous driving causing death and 35 counts of dangerous driving causing bodily harm. She was acquitted at trial after the judge placed blame for the crash on road conditions and misleading road markers. ==Service==
