LONGUEUIL — Traffic was at a standstill on Tuesday morning after a 53-foot transport truck flipped over, blocking all three lanes of eastbound traffic on Highway 132 near the Roland-Therrien interchange.
The accident happened at 7:15 a.m., when the truck collided with a Honda Civic and flipped on its side.
Sûreté du Québec spokesperson Ingrid Asselin told Global News that the driver of the truck likely tried to brake following a sudden slowdown in traffic and lost control of his vehicle.
Firefighters were on hand to extricate the driver of the truck from his cab.
Both the truck driver and the driver of the Honda Civic were transported to hospital and treated for minor injuries.
Highway 132 was re-opened to traffic at around 10 a.m. after fire crews cleared the road of debris.
