The OPP, in coordination with the Welland Fire Department, Niagara EMS, and Ornge, responded to a head-on collision involving a pickup truck on Highway 58, between Kleiner Street and Forks Road East, at approximately 10:21 p.m. on October 12th.

It was determined that a pickup truck collided head-on with a Niagara transit bus and as a result, the pickup truck rolled over and burst into flames.

The driver of the pickup and two passengers were pronounced deceased on the scene, say police. The bus driver was air-lifted to hospital with serious life-threatening injuries. Their current condition is unknown. Two passengers were also on the bus at the time of the crash. One was taken to hospital to be treated for serious injuries, while the second passenger was released at the scene.

This is sad. It's about 10m away from where i live, 5m from where i park my bus. It's one of the more traveled highways between Port Colborne and Welland along with hwy 140

Seems like a weird place for a city bus to be. All the buses in this town drive around empty all day.

Headlights are now so bright in vehicles that rainy night travel is a high risk for drivers.
