[EN IMAGES] A teenager crushed by an RTC bus in Quebec

A 15-year-old girl was injured after being trapped under a bus due to the slippery road in QuebecThursday morning.

The incident occurred on rue de Valmont, in the Sainte-Foy sector, around 7:40 a.m.

The teenager was then hit at low speed by an RTC bus and found herself trapped between it and a snowbank.

“The bus started to slide because of the icy road surface. The firefighters were asked to free the lady from her unfortunate position, ”explains the spokesperson for the Service de police de la Ville de Québec (SPVQ), David Pelletier.

The Cooperative of Ambulance Technicians of Quebec (CTAQ) indicated that the victim was transported to the nearest hospital center to treat leg injuries. Dessercom later confirmed that the young woman did not suffer from serious injuries.

According to our information, traffic is particularly complicated on the roads, Thursday morning, due to ice and accumulations of water on the roadway.

Remember that about thirty millimeters of rain and freezing rain is expected in the Quebec region during the day, which promises to be rather comfortable with a mercury of 8°C.

However, all this water is likely to turn into ice next night. A winter storm warning will come into effect Friday morning in the region.
