The family of a 21-year-old who died in September 2013 when an OC Transpo bus was hit by a Via Rail train in Barrhaven, has become the latest to file a lawsuit against the City of Ottawa, Via Rail, train conductor Kevin McCardle and the estate of the deceased driver of the bus, David Woodard.
Parents Cynthia and Richard Nash and Geoffrey Nash, the younger brother of the victim, Kyle Nash, filed suit on June 30, alleging that the defendants were negligent in their duties to properly protect the passengers in their care or to prevent the crash from occurring.
There have been 13 other known lawsuits filed against the city making similar allegations. The City of Ottawa has maintained that there was never any negligence, breach of duty or want of care on its part in relation to the collision between a Via Rail train and an OC Transpo bus, No. 76 Express, in September 2013 at a level crossing on the Transitway near the Fallowfield station.
The crash killed Nash and fellow passengers Michael Bleakney, Karen Krzyzewski, Connor Boyd and Rob More, as well as Woodard, the bus driver. Dozens of others were injured.
The Nash family is suing for more than $675,000.
None of the allegations has been proven in court. The defendants have 20 days to respond to the lawsuit.
