Calgary, October 16 (Daily Kiran) : A devastating accident occurred in Calgary, Canada, where a collision between a bus and a car led to the deaths of three individuals and injured nineteen others. The incident escalated when the bus subsequently crashed into two parked vehicles, igniting a fire that engulfed multiple units.
Prime Minister Mark Carney expressed his condolences on social media platform X, sharing his sorrow over the tragic event. He stated, “In a heartbreaking bus accident in Calgary, several lives have been lost, and many have been injured, including a police officer. All of Canada stands with the families affected by this painful incident.”

According to a report from a leading Bangladeshi news agency, UNB, police Sergeant Andy Woodward detailed how the public transit bus collided with a car, which then struck other vehicles. The initial impact caused the bus to lose control, crashing into another transit bus that was stopped at a nearby bus stop. This collision triggered a fire, which spread rapidly due to the second bus running on natural gas.
In total, nineteen individuals sustained injuries, with ten requiring ambulance transport to local hospitals. The confirmed death toll stands at three.
