A spectacular road accident left one seriously injured Thursday afternoon on Highway 440 in Laval.
The event occurred on the expressways around 1 p.m., very close to the exit leading to Chomedey Boulevard.
For a reason still unknown, the driver of a small gray sedan suddenly lost control, before rolling over, flying over a fence and ending his race suddenly on the service road of the highway.

Emergency services intervened quickly to extricate the driver from his heavily damaged vehicle. The firefighters also used extrication pliers to cut the carcass of the car and thus gain access to the victim.
The 46-year-old man, who was alone on board, was transported to Sacré-Cœur Hospital in Montreal to treat serious injuries that were not believed to be life-threatening.
Some traffic lanes were completely closed to traffic for about an hour before being reopened.
