A Calgary Transit XD40 rolled over in the NE on the ramp from NB Deerfoot to WB Stoney Trail the morning sometime before 6AM. 

 

Drove by on the ramp from EB Stoney to NB Deerfoot (QE II) so I was too far to make out any details.

Yikes! What the heck happened?
Hope the operator is OK!  
 

I don’t think that bus will be salvageable. 
 

More than likely all bent up. 

I'd presume the driver took the corner a bit too fast. I forgot to mention that some speculation is that the crashed bus was 8294 as its cad was on till 8AM but it never did an actual run. That's just speculation, of course. And yeah, I don't believe that's going to be salvageable, and if it is, it'll take more work than it's worth.

Drove past this on my way to work. Rumor mill says loss of steering. Steel posts caused flats on the left side. Flats and weight = tip over to the drivers side. Ironic to think the cable and posts that save most vehicles might have caused this tip over.
