| Comments | Toronto ON, August 11, 1995. Two Toronto Transit Commission subway trains collided underground between two stations. Three commuters were killed and 140 other riders were injured. Problems with driver training and communications contributed to the accident. A rookie driver drove through three red lights and the fail-safe breaking system failed. The northbound train then rammed into another train which had stopped because of a faulty signal. The subway line was closed for eight and a half days. |
