Back on April 23rd of 2009 we were at home just watching TV, when we heard an incredibly loud SMASH noise outside. Not entirely uncommon living in downtown Calgary, but it was louder than usual. We looked down towards 5th ave and saw a Blacktop cab inside<\/strong> Taste Buds Cafe<\/a>. This happened at 5th avenue and 8th street SW.<\/p>\n I equipped a set of pants and headed down to\u00a0find out what happened and to take a few photos and videos before the scene was taped off by first-responders. Thankfully nobody was hurt! If this had been during the day time hours, the sidewalk and cafe would have likely had numerous people out and about.<\/p>\n Though I am not sure what happened to the driver after everything was over. Probably taken to hospital for evaluation. It turns out that the driver was suffering from some kind of diabetic shock episode and lost control or passed out.<\/p>\n Here’s an older CTV article about the incident<\/a> (a back up copy)<\/p>\n
