Four people were injured, none were believed to have severe injuries.

How did it happen? Car hit it?

Too high speed through the corner.

The tram was coming from the right side of the picture and was turning left (to exit out the bottom of the picture). Considering it went all the way to the back wall of that store it must have been going pretty fast..

Source: I work 100 meters from where this happened (earlier today!)

I blame eurobeat and drifting anime instead.

We have a similar issue in Toronto where our tram operators speed between stations/stops, and go in and out of turns at ludicrous speed (as if they were driving a car).

Trams as well as buses end up backed up as a result because of this excessive need to speed. One of the reasons I somewhat hate Toronto transit operators as they toss us around inside the transite vehicles.
