Three killed, 19 injured as two Calgary Transit buses caught in eight-vehicle crash
A catastrophic chain-reaction collision involving two Calgary Transit buses and six other vehicles left three bus passengers dead and nineteen people injured in Calgary's Saddle Ridge neighbourhood on Thursday afternoon. The crash along Saddletowne Circle Northeast led to an immediate fire on one natural-gas bus and required emergency crews to extricate a trapped bus driver from heavy wreckage. Paramedics transported ten individuals to local hospitals, including one person with life-threatening injuries. Also in this briefing: Prime Minister Mark Carney campaigns in Alberta against separation, warning of Brexit-style economic fallout ahead of Monday's provincial referendum; a rapid national news roundup; and Canadian screen producers voice deep frustration over six hundred million dollars in undelivered federal cultural funding.
