Car crashes into traffic light pole

A young driver crashed head on into a traffic light pole at the intersection of boulevard de la Gare and rue Forbes in Vaudreuil-Dorion around midnight.

For some unknown reason, the vehicle with four people on board ended up on the centre median and hit the pole. Vaudreuil-Dorion firefighters and first responders including CETAM paramedics were called to the scene to assist the victims.
