A busy downtown streetcar route was disrupted this morning after a vehicle was abandoned on the tracks.

Service was disrupted on the 501 Queen streetcar between Roncesvalles and Longbranch for more than an hour after a vehicle was discovered on the tracks at Queensway and Windermere. Shuttle buses were deployed while police made arrangements to remove the vehicle and locate the driver.

Regular service on the Queen streetcar resumed at around 6 a.m.

Police say they are still trying to determine who abandoned the vehicle and why.
