It was moving towards a platform and then suddenly sped up and crashed into a hydro tower according to a witness.
The TTC recently pulled all of their XE40s due to an unintentional/unrequested acceleration. Makes you wonder if something similar happened here.

Yeah. It was also at the Richmond Hill open house I went to on Saturday. I thought about asking if they heard about the TTC’s fleet grounding, but I didn’t want to be a downer.Its the 25th anniversary bus!!!!

Repairs of the hydro tower’s supposed to be three months apparently. They need to rebuild the whole thing.
