An Ottawa woman whose leg was injured in the January OC Transpo bus crash that killed three people is suing the city, province and bus driver for nearly $6.5 million. Lynn Ellis and her husband, Martin Fischer, are listed as plaintiffs in the suit, which was filed in court Tuesday. The lawsuit alleges that on Jan. 11, 2019, Ellis was seated on the upper level of the double-decker OC Transpo bus driven by Aissatou Diallo when the crash happened, causing Ellis "permanent and serious injuries." According to the claim, Ellis is no longer able to work and will need to use canes and a walker for the rest of her life. It claims the province is liable for failing to require public transit vehicles to have seatbelts.
