He mows down a lamp post
In Château-Richer, near Quebec, a driver lost his life after mowing down a lamp post on Route 138 around 5 p.m. Saturday.
After its collision with the lamppost, the vehicle would have rolled over and the driver would have remained a prisoner inside.
His death was pronounced on the spot.
The road had to be closed in both directions to allow investigators to analyze the scene. “Speed may have played a role” in the accident, said SQ spokesman Stéphane Tremblay.
