A terrifying incident occurred on Highway 1 in Montreal’s West Island, as a large piece of pothole crashed into a couple’s windshield, leaving them shaken and questioning the safety of our roads.
The couple, who wishes to remain anonymous, were driving on the highway when they suddenly heard a loud bang. To their horror, they saw a large piece of pothole had shattered their windshield, narrowly missing them.
“It was like something out of a horror movie,” the couple said. “We were lucky to escape with our lives.”
The incident has raised concerns about the state of Montreal’s roads, with many residents expressing frustration and anger over the increasing number of potholes.
According to the City of Montreal, there were over 50,000 reported potholes in 2020, a significant increase from previous years. The harsh winter weather and heavy traffic are believed to be contributing factors to the deteriorating road conditions.
The couple involved in the incident is now calling on the city to take immediate action to fix the potholes and ensure the safety of drivers.
“We don’t want anyone else to go through what we did,” they said. “Something needs to be done before it’s too late.”
In response to the incident, the City of Montreal has stated that they are aware of the issue and are working to address it. They have allocated additional funds for road repairs and are implementing a more proactive approach to pothole maintenance.
However, many residents are still skeptical and are calling for more immediate and effective solutions.
As we continue to navigate through these challenging times, it is crucial for authorities to prioritize the safety of citizens and take necessary measures to maintain our roads. The incident serves as a reminder that potholes are not just a nuisance, but a serious threat to the well-being of drivers.
We can only hope that this incident will prompt the city to take swift and effective action to ensure the safety of all those who use our roads.
