A single-vehicle accident on May 20 involving a trailer sent one man to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
At around 3:40 p.m., the 71-year-old driver was heading east on Hwy. 148 when he lost control of his SUV and struck a culvert near the intersection with chemin des Pères Dominicain, ending up in the parking lot of the Smoke N’ Bull restaurant.
The driver, who was alone in the vehicle at the time of the crash, was taken to Hull Hospital with non life-threatening injuries.
MRC des Collines Police spokesperson, Sgt. Martin Fournel, said that no charges have been laid thus far and alcohol is not suspected to be a factor in the crash. However, he added that police had been alerted by some erratic behaviour before the accident.
“We had the info that he was kind of swerving with the trailer before, we had somebody call in,” he said.
