No injuries have been reported after an amphibious tour bus crashed this morning into the gates at 24 Sussex Drive, the prime minister’s unoccupied official residence.
Photos posted to social media this morning show a red “Amphibus” appears to have veered off the eastbound side of Sussex Drive onto the sidewalk and crashed into the black metal gates outside the residence.Shortly after noon, a heavy tow truck towed the bus away. While the bus didn’t appear to sustain much damage, a large section of the fence had been knocked down entirely and rocks and rubble were strewn across the ground.
The bus driver left the area without speaking to reporters. Lady Dive Tours operations manager Leon Harris, who remained at the scene, said it’s still unknown how the crash occurred.He said the bus will be towed to a garage to be examined and will be off the road for the season. The tour company only has one other amphibious bus and it will be challenging to operate without the other, he said.
Did it have freedom fighter decals and big Canadian flags flying from it.
