Ottawa Fire Services reported that the individual had to be extricated from the damaged passenger vehicle, a process lasting eight minutes.
The collision was reported at about 3 p.m.
OC Transpo general manager Renée Amilcar said there were seven passengers aboard the bus at the time of the collision. The driver and two passengers suffered minor injuries in the crash and were treated on the scene by paramedics and released.
Ottawa police are leading the investigation and OC Transpo “continues to cooperate with those efforts,” Amilcar said in a memo to Ottawa Council Sunday.
“Our thoughts are with everyone involved in the collision.”
