Calgary police are working to determine the cause of a fiery city bus crash that killed three passengers and injured 16, Global News and Google News reported on Friday, October 16.

No cause has been confirmed by police. Names of the dead had not been released in the reports we saw.
Transit crashes with fire raise questions about vehicle condition, driver conditions, road design and evacuation, and the answers affect every rider in the city. Investigators usually take weeks or months, and early theories often change.
If you were a passenger or witness, contact Calgary police directly with what you saw and avoid posting raw video that may identify victims. Ride with attention to exits and take your cues from the driver in an emergency.
Three deaths and no cause yet. The answer should come from investigators, not from the first thread that guesses.
