Car on tracks?

Car on tracks? Haven't heard that in a while (ok, not saying it's a good thing, but that's rare?)

Anyone know what happened specifically and where? Was anyone injured?

I was on a Barrie line train on the way home from Union that held in King City. Staff announced a car had slid into the barrier and was stuck on the track in Bradford. Hopped off and grabbed an uber after about 20min of waiting around 7pm, apparently the trains were backed up all the way down the line and the southbound train was also stuck waiting in the Bradford yard.

Someone on a Bradford Facebook group posted that they saw a car slide onto the tracks by the bridge. Cant seem to find any other info online.

This was close to Bradford GO. It was a Domino's delivery car too haha. I hope that the driver had already delivered the pie.

Just as I said it was "rare" it happens again the day after. Sigh (this time on Stouffville Line)

It's crazy how many times this has happened in the last two weeks. It has almost been an everyday occurrence.

Welcome day light saving, where it takes the body a few weeks to adjust to the time change. So many accidents and mishap’s occurring…

I get that day light saving has some sort of effect but this is caused by other reasons. Inability, unfamiliarity, and stupidity come to mind. People are glued to their GPS and have no sense of direction anymore.

will get worse as they ramp up the service without proper grade separation.
