Shocking Sunday: Two Traffic Accidents Rock Boulevard des Chutes
It was a hectic Sunday afternoon for emergency responders in Quebec. According to reports from Zone 911, a collaborative emergency monitoring platform, two distinct traffic incidents occurred within a short timeframe on Boulevard des Chutes, causing significant disruption and concern for local residents.
Vehicle Plunges into Residential Backyard
The first incident took place around 5:00 PM at the intersection of Boulevard des Chutes and Rue de la Falaise. For reasons that are still under investigation, a vehicle veered sharply off its trajectory, leaving the roadway entirely.
The vehicle didn’t stop at the curb; it crashed through a residential fence and came to a complete halt in the backyard of a private home. The scene prompted an immediate response from:
- n
- Local Fire Departments
- Police Services
- Two specialized paramedic teams
Fortunately, while at least one person was evaluated on-site by medical professionals, reports indicate that no one required immediate transport to a hospital. Authorities noted that the intersection is equipped with all-way stop signs, making the cause of the deviation even more mysterious.
Collision Near Montmorency Falls
The chaos didn’t end there. Less than an hour later, at approximately 5:45 PM, a second accident was reported. This time, a collision between two vehicles occurred at the intersection of Boulevard des Chutes and Avenue Royale, right at the entrance to the famous Montmorency Falls Park.
Emergency crews, including police and paramedics, were quickly dispatched to manage the scene and ensure the safety of drivers and tourists visiting the area.
