A woman lost her life a few hours before the New Year during a road accident that occurred during the evening in Varennes, in Montérégie.
For a reason that remained unknown in the evening, the sixty-year-old lost control of her vehicle while she was traveling on Highway 30 West. Her vehicle finally ended up on its roof in a ditch, explained Catherine Bernard, spokesperson for the Sûreté du Québec.
The intervention of the firefighters was necessary to be able to extricate the driver from the wreckage of her vehicle. Unfortunately, he was pronounced dead shortly after his arrival at the hospital.
The highway was temporarily closed westbound during the evening to allow investigators to do their work.
