An ATU Local 113 member (bus operator) is being praised for pulling a driver out of a burning vehicle after a collision early Wednesday morning.

Toronto police said a stolen Honda was travelling at a high speed when it crashed into a TTC bus just before 4:50 a.m. at Bathurst Street and Eglinton Avenue West.

Local 113 President, Marvin Alfred, spoke to media about the heroic efforts our members continue to demonstrate.
