Streetcar crashes into Crooks Drugstore, Calgary, Alberta.
Crash occured at about 6:00 am. The streetcar rails were covered with frost due to a chinook. On the down hill trip on 17th Avenue the brakes for the streetcar were rendered useless, it hit the switch at the bottom, turned on its side and came through the corner door and came to rest half in and half out of the store. One person was killed and thirteen were injured. The building was gutted by fire on the night of February 24-25, 2008.
