Some Timmins Transit routes are changing due to the ongoing winter storm.
With snow-covered sideroads, the City of Timmins announced on Facebook that transit drivers are rerouting to avoid travelling on side roads.
Environment Canada's winter storm warning remains in effect for the Timmins area. The storm is expected to continue into Saturday and see snowfall amounts of 30 to 50 centirmetres.
Earlier today (March 17), a Timmins Transit bus stuck at the four-way stop at Mountjoy and Second Avenue/Commercial slid into a parked vehicle.
The eastbound bus was on the hill on Commercial and appeared to be unable to go through the intersection. Backing up, it slid down the hill and into a parked truck on Commercial.
