Truck & streetcar crash + subway fire disrupt morning rush

Tuesday morning rush hour traffic was snarled on St. Clair Avenue, west of Yonge Street when a TTC streetcar collided with a garbage truck, knocking the truck onto its side. One would have to assume that the garbage truck was in the dedicated streetcar lane at the time of the collision. Toronto paramedics said three adults were assessed at the scene and two were transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. To add insult to injury, a fire truck that responded to the collision broke down. Mechanics attended the scene to repair it. CP24, Global

Also on Tuesday — commuters on the Bloor subway line were delayed due to an electrical fire at the Yonge/Bloor Station. TTC sent out shuttle buses, as subway service was shut down between St. George and Pape Stations.
