The driver struck a house on rue Principal in Saint-Modest before the left rim of his van got stuck on rue des Lociers at 6:50pm on April 30, authorities said.
When he exits the rue Principal in Saint-Antonin from the highway 85, the race of the drivers will have started about 10 kilometers earlier. “Several witnesses reported that the black van was driving erratically,” explains Sûreté du Québec publicist Nicolas Scholdus. Speed may also be a factor in this instance.
“He would have collided with multiple objects that would have left him with punctures,” the agent says. He returned to Chemin Rivière verte before returning to the 1st line.
He then turned on the Route de l'Église Nord, where several gaps were noted, and turned right on the Rue Prince. During this manoeuvre, the driver lost control of his vehicle, before hitting a residence and getting stuck on the ground with two rims of his vehicle.
A large number of people came to witness the incident with interest. It is noteworthy that no one was injured during the accident. The house was not badly damaged.
According to the SQ, the driver, who was alone in the vehicle, will face drug-impaired charges.
An investigation to ascertain the causes and circumstances of the accident will be carried out simultaneously.
The van was towed around 7.30 pm.
