Northbound Highway 13 in Laval at Notre Dame Blvd. in the city’s Chomedey district has reopened after having been closed to traffic for six hours when a tanker truck flipped onto its side after skidding into the median.
The incident occurred after 12:30 p.m. Wednesday. Provincial police said two people in the truck were treated for nervous shock but otherwise uninjured. Shortly after 7 p.m., Transport Québec announced by Twitter that the highway was reopened.
The tank being hauled by the truck detached during the accident and its cargo of vegetable oil did leak.
