Car accident and dangerous turn seconds apart in Toronto...

[@321okaygo8]

Toronto drivers should walk more.

[@cross5574]

I would never use my car if I lived in Toronto

[@leadnsteel1428]

​@@cross5574 especially downtown.... Anywhere south of Dundas St is a nightmare.

[@leadnsteel1428]

Even walking is bad too lol.

[@ajsalinas7661]

@@leadnsteel1428i agree

[@OnyxMoneyDrops]

After watching it again, I can now see what happened. The turning driver started to make the turn, but a pedestrian was crossing so they slammed on their brakes causing the other car to hit them

[@miles5600]

This is why pedestrians need their own protected phase, separating the pedestrian signal from the thru traffic signal.

[@thisisnotpublic6569]

Not only that, but the Nissan driver was clearly trying to go fast through the intersection after it went red - you can see the green light in the adjacent road. Totally their fault, trying to speed up and not paying attention/taking into consideration that the other driver could brake.

[@holsteincowboy]

Scary stat from google search - an average of 40 pedestrians are killed every year in Toronto. Yikes !

[@traceymac5740]

Jaywalking is very rampant in Toronto as well so not always driver error

[@12seahawks12]

Driving in toronto is the #1 reason i stopped going to toronto.

[@WHATIFBIRDSCOULDFLY]

honestly a very fair reason to never return.

[@melissatodd7669]

Right we go yearly atleast for bday and prob take go train next time as we got rear-ended last time coming off at lakeshore tha k God no one was hurt. Kids where Lil confused

[@leadnsteel1428]

You would have to pay me to live there lol.

[@gordonenright5158]

Lansdowne and Bloor.. my wife grew up there and my in laws still live there. Quite eventful

[@ImranKhan-sd6dx]

At least that first guy apologized, some people do that and either weren’t paying attention or didn’t care. The worst is when they try to argue when they’re wrong.

[@TrustMelDontCare]

I went to toronto once. My second day there someone rolled into the back of my car at a light.... we had been sitting there for at least 30 seconds already. My car had no damange but he busted the grill on his bmw. He didnt want to exchange info, i said it was cool because his car was damaged. Not mine lol. Worst city ive ever driven in.

[@melissatodd7669]

Avoid driving in kw area they pretty bad too

[@jacksonbourrettransportati9852]

Other than careful driving, that left turn collision would have been easily prevented if fully protected left turn traffic signals were used at this intersection (the type of left turn signals used along Spadina Ave).

[@DeborahHamilton-q1w]

This is why I avoid Toronto!

[@oj9651]

Dude just sits in the intersection like a bot

[@amywilliams6696]

And all this time watching you. I've noticed people in Canada don't care how. They drive

[@GoddamnAnge]

Yes, it's like that across the whole colony.

[@RRBDDrivingSchool]

Hello @JohnnyStrides,can I use this video "Car accident and dangerous turn seconds apart in Toronto" my compilation of dashcam clips?credited(name on screen). Do you have any update or comment on the incident?

[@tannergoodwin-kr6rk]

The Nissan tried to make the light and should’ve yielded to the yellow to let the other car clear the intersection.

[@featherkingdom449]

The Brampton effect...

[@eb9844]

Grew up not too far from here. It’s looking pretty rough now especially with all the construction.

[@johnsonluk3468]

What happened was that freaking pedestrian crossing when the light was flashing making the black car unable to complete the turn. The Nissan was rushing through the yellow light and didn't realize the black car made a sudden stop. Traffic jam and road rage sometimes caused by the pedestrian. Police needs to ticket the pedestrian for jay-walking.

[@davemcd9077]

a side issue=i gotta chceck out 'value buds'=logo looks too familiar to Value Village 'V', which would really pisses me off....

[@traceymac5740]

I live around the corner from that intersection and this is the first collision I have seen

[@gabygaedecke2411]

You did catch it, but only barely ... was the bright sunshine a factor? Seems people can't drive in this city.

[@PlaneSpotterYYZ]

And they say Brampton has bad drivers 💀

[@TwistyTrav]

The person turning was at fault... so its funny how they're happy you caught a car accident they caused on camera lol

[@TwistyTrav]

@thelittlemuffet Doesn't matter. The Highway Traffic Act is very clear in situations where a left turning car is involved in an accident. The car going straight could full-on run a red light, and the left turning car would still be at fault, according to the rules.

[@cinthia9602]

What's up with these bad drivers?? Geez. (Just a thought).

[@PatreceSunflower]

😮

[@BirbarianHomeGuard]

I literally saw this happen live!

[@Flexchqmp]

markham is crazy as this when it snows

[@melissatodd7669]

Almost as bad as kitchener waterloo drivers amoht times me and my kids Almost been hit walking is brutal. We also got rear ended downtown Toronto in March for my sons bday

[@kevbrown1867]

Worst drivers in the world in Toronto where did they get their license in Cracker Jack box ? None of them are in control of their vehicles

[@jen-lnicole2043]

I've only watched two videos and in both... you almost ran over crossing the street.

[@edbredin6406]

Who was at fault?

[@Aces77777]

That's like killing two birds with one stone

[@LifesLittleWonders]

😲😨😱

[@bennyc6694]

This is why i take the train anytime i have to go to this wretched city

[@leadnsteel1428]

This is what the city life does to you lol.

[@markwhalley6222]

She drove into him 😂😂

[@Angel_Sent_From_Heaven]

Shocking 😲 eh geez 😂

[@BROWN83666]

Lmaooo 😂😂😂😂

[@j_m_3590]

toronto drivers bad ya ya ya....except this time. If people looked closer they'd see the pedestrian who decided to cross on the red who caused the left turner to stop causing the chain reaction in the first place

[@sportsfan9946]

it looks like the nissan ran a red light

[@amywilliams6696]

You personally almost been hit several times just on the sidewalk alone.

[@BROWN83666]

Lmaooo

[@myung-heemin3765]

lol that's 😁

[@hbbstn]

The lady in green seems to have hit the car. She is on the wrong. "Did you catch it?" "Good" 😂

[@TwistyTrav]

The person turning is at fault. I think that's the car you're talking about?

[@stephcurry2350]

The lady in green (going straight) is not at fault. The one taking left turn on green/yellow is at fault. They also did not wait for the pedestrian to cross before attempting the left turn.

[@TwistyTrav]

@@stephcurry2350 I agree. Even if the person going straight was running a red light (the light was still green, in this case), the person turning left would still be at fault. It doesn't matter what happens within the intersection because the driver turning left must not enter until its safe & clear to completely perform the turn.
