According to police, the vehicle sped down a cul de sac on de Beauharnois Street East near St-Laurent Boulevard.

The car appears to have jumped a curb and driven through a chain-link fence before slamming through the sidewall of an Montreal transit authority (STM) garage.

The driver, who was alone, managed to exit the vehicle unscathed. He fled on foot but was later apprehended by officers.

Investigators suspect alcohol may have been a factor in the crash.
