Unusual accident at La Pêche: the driver survives with minor injuries
On August 23, an unusual accident involving a 66-year-old man from Bryson occurred at approximately 10:30 am on chemin Edelweiss at chemin Elm in La Pêche. A semi-trailer truck pulling a platform with a mechanical shovel lost a bucket weighing more than one (1) ton.
Unfortunately, when the part fell off the trailer, it hit the side of a van coming in the opposite direction.
The driver of the van, a 66-year-old Bryson man, was slightly injured in the face while his passenger, a 64-year-old woman, was not injured. The driver of the semi-trailer did not stop because he did not notice the loss of the object in question but the police investigation track him down and issued a fine of $ 350 plus other costs.
The accident disrupted traffic as heavy machinery was required to move the bucket. The La Pêche fire department was also on the scene.
