The accident happened yesterday !
The accident was so violent, the bus driver died by the weight of the bus and also the 61 years old women passenger that was in the E60 was ejected of the car and died too ! They say that maybe the bus was driving too fast and the bmw passed the intersection on a red light !

Here's the link for more info of this tragedy: Two die in Dorval
Here's a video of the scene (see at 2:38 min how the car is totally ripped) :
Just tought too share with you guys, I just never saw a car been smashed like this, plus its an E60 !!

I've seen way worse. Honestly if that was such a severe impact I'd say the car may have held up pretty well. Being ejected from the vehicle often indicates that the seat belt may not have been on. I wonder if this was the case.

Yeahh I don't think she was wearing her seat belt ! What is more outrageaous in this story is that the women that has not put the seat belt was 61 years old , normally they are the ones who tell us to be cautious when driving and to always wear a seat belt !! Plus, how can someone drive fast and pass on a red with his or her grandma or wtv in his/her car ?!!
