The driver of a semi-trailer truck kept the police on their toes all afternoon as he drove from Lévis to the Ontario border.
According to the Sûreté du Québec (SQ), a motorist reported to 911 that a truck driver was driving erratically on the road around 12:15 p.m.
However, when patrol officers wanted to intercept the truck to ensure the well-being of its driver, the latter preferred to take to their heels, leading the police into a very long pursuit.
Far from wanting to stop, the trucker avoided police roadblocks and drove at full speed towards Montreal, so that according to our information, the SQ had to reassess its strategy and settle for following the vehicle at a distance with vehicles. unmarked, for the sake of avoiding an accident.
The fugitive went to the South Shore of Montreal by driving on Highway 20, before opting for Highway 30 to bypass the metropolis.
The driver eventually crossed the provincial border into Ontario, so responsibility for the pursuit was transferred to the Ontario Provincial Police.
