Bus Trap Fiasco *MERGED*

[al-ti2d]

So I was coming home just now from Beddington Trail, and as I'm coming down the exit towards underneath that bridge right before the driving range and the new T&T, I look to my left where theres a bus trap and I see all these police cars and trucks parked with their lights flashing... and the bus trap is all surrounded with the yellow police tape and about 5 or 6 officers were standing there looking into the bus trap or so it seemed like... Anyone know whats up?? Did they find a dead body in there or something?

Is that where the kid got hit in the head by a rock shooting out from a passing bus tire ?? I could be wrong .

^ could be? i just saw that the police were all looking into the bottom of the bus trap so I thought that someone might have dumped a body into there or something like that

Tire track you mean? I understand what that is. But WTF is a bus trap?

Did the kid just put a rock on the road where the bus stop is?

hmm.. i'm not entirely sure that it actually is called a bus-trap. everyone I know always called it the bus-trap so I went along with that too. Its one of those pit things where only busses and large trucks can go over and anything smaller than that will just end up with a front end smashed into the bottom of the pit.


*EDIT* okay so I just read that report linked above and it is called a bus trap lol.

I think its one of those only bus enter here terminals
then kids stuck a rock between the tracks?

Weird, in Edmonton we have bus traps, but why would you put a rock in one? Does it doo something.

I think a bus trap is just a road that has a dip in it and only the tires/width of a bus can drive through it

At 4:50 PM today, the Calgary Police Service responded to
Beddington Tr. and Centre St. N., to a report of young person
who had sustained a head injury as a result of a freak
accident.

While at first it was difficult to determine what happened,
police now know that the injured young person and friend had
placed a rock on the tire track of the bus trap at that
location. Their experiment went horribly wrong when the next
bus, unaware of what was happening, drove over the bus trap
propelling the rock into the young persons head.

A 14 year old male was transported by EMS to the Children's
Hospital with a life threatening head injury.

The Calgary Police Service and Calgary Transit remind all
citizens of the dangers of bus traps, and caution against any
activity which may be contrary to the design purpose of
restricting access to transit vehicles.
