ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

[danbrotherston]

I'm parking this here because the accident involved LRT infrastructure at the Erb/Caroline intersection, but it wasn't clear to me whether an LRV was actually involved as I couldn't see one on the scene.

Around 11:30am on Thursday, I drove from Caroline to Erb. There was a four-door sedan pointing mostly south, up on the pedestrian island and wedged up against the south side of at least one pole.  It looked like there might have been damage to the hood of the car, but I couldn't tell.  Police were directing traffic, a tow truck had just arrived to move the car and someone from RailTerm was also on site.  Later that day, I was driving northbound on Caroline around 5:00pm, before heading west on Father David Bauer Drive.  Service trucks were in the intersection, likely readjusting the poles.

Nobody seems to have taken any pictures.

Indeed, it's a bit surprising that there aren't photos.

There's plenty of evidence though, piles of absorbant contaminated with whatever toxic fluids leaked out of the overturned vehicle...just another societal microaggression by car culture.
