APRIL 23, 1987: An Ottawa firefighter sustained internal injuries, a broken left leg, a broken jaw and cheekbone, plus a bruised arm and head and chest injuries after a fire service car collided with an Orléans-bound OC Transpo bus at the intersection of the Industrial Road extension and the Transitway. There were 70 passengers on the bus at the time, but only one, a female, was slightly injured. She was released from hospital after treatment for a knee laceration.

JAN. 18, 1988: Six people were taken to hospital after two OC Transpo buses and a car collided at an intersection near Riverside Drive and the Transitway. Police blamed the crash on icy road conditions. An articulated bus slid into the rear of another bus, causing the second bus to collide with a car. Police said one person had broken bones, while others received bumps and bruises.
