FOG BLOG CANADA NEWS LOG: TOUR BUS DRIVES THROUGH GATE AT 24 SUSSEX DRIVE!

Amphibious tour bus crashes into fence of PM's official residence Company is investigating but says driver was only person on the bus An amphibious tour bus crashed this morning into the fence at 24 Sussex Drive, the prime minister's unoccupied official residence.

Etienne Cameron, a co-owner of Lady Dive Tours in Ottawa, says the company is investigating the crash involving one of its vehicles. The driver, whom he did not immediately identify, was the only person on board.

The driver would not give his name at the scene of the crash but said he's completely fine and even the bus took very little damage.

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 and stone fence outside the residence.

A large section of the fence had been knocked down entirely and rocks and rubble were strewn across the ground.

Cameron says the crash happened during a routine "morning check" during which a driver takes the bus out for a spin prior to tourists getting on board.

Ottawa police say they received a call about a single motor-vehicle collision involving a commercial vehicle at 9:21 a.m., and confirmed there are no reported injuries.
