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.
