OC Transpo Double-Decker Bus Comes Loose Mid-Tow on Belfast Road and Rolls into the Farm Boy Grocery Store at the Ottawa Train Yards; No Injuries Reported as City Reviews How the Bus Broke Free

An out-of-service OC Transpo double-decker bus came loose from a tow truck near the transit agency's maintenance facility on Belfast Road around 1 p.m. Tuesday and rolled into the Farm Boy grocery store at the Ottawa Train Yards, according to CTV News Ottawa. No one was hurt, and city officials said they are working to determine how the bus detached from the tow truck.

Operator takeaway

An unsecured load on a Tuesday afternoon does not get to wait for the audit. Pull every chain, binder, and tie-down log from the last 30 days this week and verify that your check-before-rolling protocol is what your drivers actually do, not just what your wall posters say.
