TTC accident this morning
By Matthew Blackett // No Comments
As if the TTC wasn't having a bad week, the Toronto Star is reporting 10 people were injured this morning in a subway accident:
The Dupont subway station was evacuated and ten people were treated for smoke inhalation this morning after a mechanical problem aboard a subway car.
At about 9:30 a.m., passengers aboard the train approaching the station on the University-Spadina line reported hearing a loud popping sound, or a minor explosion.
A metal plate under the subway car had become dislodged, hitting the third-rail power, causing a spark and small blast.
The subway car and station became filled with smoke. Passengers had to evacuate the subway car.
