OC Transpo says a bus that was on its way to a maintenance facility hit the side of a store at the Ottawa Train Yards on Tuesday after apparently coming loose from the tow truck that was pulling it.

The double-decker bus collided with the Farm Boy store on Belfast Road at around 1:15 p.m.

“A decommissioned double-decker bus appears to have come loose from a tow truck and made contact with a building while travelling on Belfast Road during transport to an OC Transpo maintenance facility,” OC Transpo spokesperson Katrina Camposarcone-Stubbs told CTV News Ottawa in an email.

“An investigation is underway to determine why the bus became detached from the tow truck.”

No one was reported hurt.
