VANCOUVER — An Olympic Line streetcar collided with a vehicle at Moberly Road and Sixth Avenue in False Creek just before 11:30 p.m. Friday night.
Police officers and fire trucks were on scene according to neighbours.
A neighbour who witnessed the aftermath of the crash said motorists haven't adjusted to trains being back on the tracks.
"Since they put it in, the city had folks sitting at the crossing to get people to actually stop and they wouldn't," said Catherine Crough. "They would just mosey onto the tracks. There was a sense of entitlement and habit."
The vehicle involved in the collision was towed away just after 12:00 a.m.
The streetcar line resumed normal operation by 6:30 Saturday morning.
