VIDEO: U sudaru vlaka i autobusa u Ottawi najmanje 5 mrtvih

Police and firefighters respond to a double-decker bus that collided with a passenger train at a crossing in a suburb of Canada's capital on September 18, 2013, killing at least five people, an official said. Ottawa fire department spokesman Marc Messier told broadcaster CTV that at least five bus passengers died and up to six others were injured. The Via Rail company operating the affected train on the Ottawa to Toronto line -- on which traffic has been suspended -- reported no fatalities. The OC Transpo bus was on its way downtown during the morning rush hour when the accident happened, according to local media reports. The injured were being transported to area hospitals. Canadian broadcasters showed images of the front of the bus sheered off and the train derailed. Witnesses, meanwhile, recounted bus passengers being thrown from the bus. AFP PHOTO/MICHEL COMTE

OTTAWA - U sudaru autobusa na kat i vlaka na pružnom prijelazu na jugu kanadske prijestolnice Ottawe u srijedu je poginulo najmanje pet osoba, rekao je Marc Messier, glasnogovornik spasilačke službe.

Autobus na kat gradske tvrtke OC Transpo išao je prema središtu grada u vrijeme prometne gužve a, kako navode mediji, još traje prijevoz ozlijeđenih u gradske bolnice.

Vlak je doslovno otkinuo prednji dio autobusa, po prvim snimkama u medijima, koje svjedoče o težini nesreće.

Tvrtka Via Rail, koja pruža uslugu željezničkog prijevoza, rekla je da u vlaku koji je prometovao od Ottawe do Toronta, nitko nije stradao. Na pruzi između tih dvaju gradova promet je obustavljen.
