Miscellaneous facts. A woman in her forties was transported to the hospital on Wednesday evening, after entering a lot in a mechanical shovel on a construction site, in Saint-Guillaume.
According to Camille Savoie, spokesperson for the Sûreté du Québec (SQ), the car was traveling in the west direction (towards Sorel) when the accident occurred.
“The collision took place on a road site closed to traffic, on road 122, at the intersection of Route 224. Following the impact, the car has ignited. He was a firefighter who went to the call who was able to extricate the lady from his car. His colleagues turned off the flames afterwards. We are not afraid for his life, but a blood sample has been requested to verify the victim’s ability to drive. The investigation is underway, ”she said.
On the spot, it was difficult to understand how the motorist, alone aboard his car, was able to cross the site and to hape the shovel which was perpendicular to the road.
The first respondents of the municipality were also called upon. The sappers of Saint-Germain had been requested on the spot with the deinacarcation pliers, but they finally helped their colleagues from Saint-Guillaume during the intervention.
Traffic was already deflected in the sector.
