Twenty-five vehicles were involved in a collision on the Louis-Bisson Bridge, which connects Laval and Montreal via Highway 13, in the early evening of Tuesday, April 8, resulting in five people being injured.
This dramatic pile-up occurred southbound after the traditional office hours, around 6:00 p.m., as weather conditions had worsened over the Laval and Montreal areas.
The Laval Fire Department dispatched four of its units to the scene, totaling 14 firefighters and their officers. Rescue tools had to be used to extricate some victims from their vehicles.
Firefighters arrived on site at 6:13 p.m. and had freed all the victims by 6:49 p.m., at which point they were handed over to Urgences-santé paramedics. Five individuals were transported to hospital centers.
Fortunately, the accident caused no serious injuries, confirmed the Sûreté du Québec (SQ), although the five victims did suffer from lower back, chest, and neck pain, as well as emotional shock.
SQ accident investigators closed the area to traffic until 10:00 p.m. in order to analyze the scene and determine the circumstances of this springtime pile-up.
