A Montreal driver is speaking out after a terrifying incident on the road. According to the driver, a large chunk of concrete fell onto his car while he was driving.
The incident occurred on Wednesday afternoon on the Ville-Marie Expressway near the Guy Street exit. The driver, who wishes to remain anonymous, was traveling in the left lane when he suddenly heard a loud crash. He immediately pulled over and discovered a large piece of concrete on the hood of his car.
The driver was shaken but thankfully uninjured. However, his car sustained significant damage, including a cracked windshield and dented hood. He believes that if the concrete had hit his windshield, the outcome could have been much worse.
This is not the first time a driver in Montreal has experienced a similar incident. In January, a woman’s car was struck by a piece of concrete on the same highway. She was also fortunate to escape without injury.
The Ville-Marie Expressway has been under construction for several years, and incidents like these have raised concerns about the safety of drivers. The driver in this recent incident is calling for better safety measures to be put in place to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.
The Ministry of Transport has been made aware of the incident and is investigating the matter. They have stated that they take the safety of drivers very seriously and will be looking into ways to improve safety on the highway.
In the meantime, the driver is urging others to be cautious while driving on the Ville-Marie Expressway and to report any potential hazards they may encounter. He hopes that by sharing his story, he can raise awareness and prevent others from experiencing a similar frightening situation.
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining safe road conditions for all drivers. The Ministry of Transport must take swift action to address any potential hazards and ensure the safety of those traveling on our highways.
