STO driver to get a slap on the wrist, nothing more for writing at the wheel

Minor accident on St-Laurent Boulevard

This was the scene on St-Laurent Blvd and Bourassa St

At around 5 PM today there was a minor accident at an intersection on St-Laurent Boulevard. With the way people drive on this street, I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often.

The white car was mostly undamaged, except for its tail-pipe being completely severed and lying on the street not too far from the scene above. The black car, however, took a lot of damage. The very front of the car was buckled, and they even lost the company logo on the front of the car.

Obviously, the white car probably braked sharply, and the other driver following too close behind, the black car rear-ended the 1st car.

No one was injured.

A car broke down on St-Laurent Blvd in Ottawa last Thursday during rush hour. No one was hurt, it just looks like the car ran out of gas. Traffic was severely delayed, but the car was towed pretty quickly.
