The intersection at College St. and Spadina Ave. has reopened after a TTC streetcar derailed Friday morning.

The streetcar was put back on the rails and traffic access to the area resumed at about 2:10 p.m., said TTC officials said.

“It’s a 30-tonne vehicle so it takes a while to carefully rerail them so that nobody gets injured,” said Brad Ross, director of corporate communications for the TTC.

The streetlights at the intersection weren’t working this morning, Ross said. The streetcar, travelling southbound on Spadina Ave., arrived at College St. and started to move through the intersection to make a turn, he said.

The vehicle’s front wheels remained on the southbound tracks, Ross said. However, the switch at the intersection changed for an unknown reason and the rear wheels travelled west, causing the streetcar to spin and both sets of wheels to derail at about 10:40 a.m.

No one was injured, but the southbound streetcar ended up facing nearly northeast, Ross said.

The intersection was closed for roughly three and a half hours while crews attempted to move the streetcar back onto the rails.
