The passenger of a cube truck that struck the rear of a semi-trailer truck—while both vehicles were traveling northbound on Highway 25—had a narrow escape, as the collision tore off the entire side of the cube truck.

This dramatic accident occurred on Tuesday, May 6, around 9:54 a.m., near Lévesque Boulevard in the eastern part of Île Jésus.

The impact left the passenger trapped inside the cab of the cube truck, which had been partially torn open on one side.

For the second time that day, the Laval Fire Department deployed four of its units to the scene, totaling 14 firefighters and their officers.

Arriving at 10:01 a.m., firefighters used extrication tools, including hydraulic spreaders, to free the victim from the cab.

The man was then taken into the care of Urgences-santé paramedics and transported to a hospital for evaluation, as he was experiencing neck and chest pain.

As for the driver of the 40-foot semi-trailer truck, he was unharmed and able to continue on his way, with his vehicle undamaged.
