Part Two
California good deed
A Canadian woman living in San Diego was stuck: she had more than $200 worth of groceries, but her credit card wasn't accepted. Then, a stranger stepped in to pay. She wanted to thank him. But when she went in search of the man who'd helped her, she discovered he'd died -- just a day after they met.
Ottawa City Transpo report
According to a new report, there's no one culprit for the deadly collision between a train and a bus in Ottawa. But that report does make recommendations. And the father of a man killed in that crash shares his thoughts on them.
