A suspected impaired driver caused chaos on the streets of Toronto after crashing into a TTC bus, according to police.
The incident occurred on Wednesday evening at the intersection of Bathurst Street and St. Clair Avenue West. The driver, whose identity has not been released, was allegedly under the influence of alcohol at the time of the crash.
Thankfully, no injuries were reported from the collision. However, the TTC bus sustained significant damage and had to be towed from the scene.
Police arrived at the scene shortly after the crash and conducted a field sobriety test on the driver. They determined that the driver was indeed impaired and placed them under arrest.
The suspect is now facing charges of impaired driving and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle. They are scheduled to appear in court at a later date.
The incident serves as a reminder of the dangers of driving under the influence and the importance of responsible decision-making. It also highlights the potential consequences of such reckless behavior, not only for the driver but also for innocent bystanders.
The TTC has not released a statement regarding the incident, but it is likely that they will be conducting their own investigation into the matter.
As of now, the intersection has been cleared and traffic has resumed as normal. However, the incident serves as a cautionary tale for all drivers to prioritize safety and responsibility while on the road.
