Yesterday evening at approximately 6:15 p.m., a car on the Rang de la Grande Chaloupe veered out of its lane on the Rang de la Grande Chaloupe for an unidentified reason and ended up travelling in the wrong direction.
According to the Sûreté du Québec, this manoeuvre resulted in a collision with a car that was moving in the other lane. Then the other two were struck by a third car.
