A dreadful accident, a wake-up call on street safety

It was a horrible, horrible accident.

A 17-year-old high-school student got off an STM bus near the corner of Rachel and Frontenac Sts., got on his skateboard in the Rachel bike path, and, on a green light, proceeded straight through the Rachel-Frontenac intersection. At exactly the same time, the bus he'd just got off turned at the same intersection, and they collided. The young man was killed, and the driver utterly (and understandably) traumatized.
