A 39-year-old woman is between life and death in hospital after being involved in a violent collision with a cube truck on Friday afternoon in Saint-Damase, in Montérégie.
The accident occurred around 2 p.m., at the corner of Route 231 and Rang de la Caroline.
In all likelihood, the driver would have tried to enter Route 231 from the range without ensuring the absence of danger.
She would thus have cut the path of the cube truck, thereby causing the violent collision.
Under the force of the impact, both vehicles were thrown into the ditch at the edge of the road.
Local firefighters had to use extrication pliers to free the driver from the wreckage of her car.
She was taken to hospital in critical condition. Doctors fear for his life.
Three people were traveling in the cube truck. According to the Sûreté du Québec, they were not injured, at least not seriously.
A portion of Route 231 was completely closed to traffic to allow a collision investigation specialist to establish the circumstances of the accident.
