Aissatou Diallo, the driver of the Ottawa double-decker bus in the collision that left three passengers dead in 2019, has not responded to a summons to testify at an ongoing inquest into the tragedy.

Lawyers leading the inquest, which is examining the circumstances of the OC Transpo crash to try to prevent similar calamities, gave an update on the witness list on Friday.

Peter Napier said the inquest served Diallo with a summons requiring her to attend. She has not replied to that and “we have reason to believe that she is currently outside the jurisdiction.”

Diallo remains on the witness list and “we will update you if these circumstances change,” Napier added.

The inquest went on to hear Friday from its first witness: Iain Knight, an expert in road vehicle safety. 

Jurors spent Thursday going through a raft of material submitted into the inquest record on Wednesday.
