A man has died after being struck by a vehicle near the Trainyards shopping centre. The collision was the second fatal one in two days
Man, yesterday I drove down St Joseph Blvd and it looked like a man on a bike was hit. Ambulance was not there yet but he was on the ground with people around him trying to help... it didn't look nice. For a second I thought this was an article about him.
People need to calm down and get of their phones while driving.
It was the second fatal collision involving pedestrians in Ottawa in less than 24 hours. On Tuesday afternoon, one adult pedestrian was killed and another was critically injured when they were struck by a vehicle on Innes Road.
A woman in her 50s died last month after being struck by a truck on Smyth Road, less than two kilometres from the site of Wednesday's collision.
fuck
@sbv @ottawa @dwazou Just remember that Jim Watson didn't want #visionzero. He preferred to keep the status quo death rate of 20 to 25 pedestrians / people on bikes per year and to try to slowly reduce that by 5% a year.
A 5% reduction is one fewer death.
These deaths are the price we pay for voting in awful #Ottawa mayors who prioritize cars over people and austerity over improving the city. It's our fault.
