The final report on the deadly 2013 OC Transpo bus-Via Rail train collision in Barrhaven is to be released Wednesday.

The Transportation Safety Board will release its report at a press conference in the John Diefenbaker Building on Sussex Drive Wednesday at 11 a.m.

Six people died in the collision, which occurred at a level crossing on the Transitway, just north of the Fallowfield Station, when the bus ran through the lowered safety barriers and into the path of a Toronto-bound passenger train.

Passengers Michael Bleakney, Connor Boyd, Karen Krzyzewski, Rob More and Kyle Nash died in the collision, along with veteran OC Transpo driver Dave Woodard. Another 35 people were injured.

The TSB released preliminary findings in September 2014 that indicated driver distraction and speed may have been factors in the crash. The TSB said it did not identify any issues with the operation of the train, the operation of the crossing signals or the condition of the track.

The City of Ottawa is facing 35 lawsuits seeking damages of more than $27 million in connection with the Sept. 18, 2014, crash.
