Sure seems to be a lot of people smashing into buildings with their cars lately. Last month there was that guy who drove into a TD Bank at Billings Bridge. Luckily nobody was hurt in that one.

Today's was much worse with the driver hitting pedestrians and crashing into the mission on Cobourg - 1 person dead and others injured.

The heck is going on? The weather has been snowy and slippery, but I can't see that being an excuse.

@zazzoo
Post Covid Brains are racking up points and accident rates due to speeding recklessness

@SnowyCA You'd think there'd be more cars going into weed shops, but I don't think that's ever happened.

@zazzoo

More likely cars going into grocery stores,? I think a bag of weed is cheaper than a bag of pantry staples

[zazzoo@mstdn.ca]

@SnowyCA Hmmm, I think that might literally be true.

@zazzoo I ran past that spot not ten minutes before. This is the second time in a few weeks pedestrians have been injured in this section of Rideau.

It's always the same. Drivers going too fast for the conditions and magically it isn't their fault.

@WTL Not wearing snow tires, either. Snow tires are a must in our winters. They're law just on the other side of the bridges.
