Just moments ago I witnessed two men put up this tree in the snow bank. When I asked one of the men why, he started crying saying the collision was just so horrible. He told me he wants people to attach the names of victims on the tree. #Ottnews pic.twitter.com/yj94FCfj4J

Horrible news in Ottawa. Our thoughts are with those on the bus and at Westboro station, the families of those who died, and loved ones waiting for news.
Our thanks to the emergency crews working tirelessly in the freezing temperatures to assist the victims.
