Wintry conditions contribute to pileup

According to CBC News, 30 vehicles were involved in the pileup on westbound highway 40. The accident occurred about 100 kilometres from Quebec City.

 

Traffic was diverted onto nearly highway 138 as the closure of the 40 west was needed to clean up the damage.

 

20 people were hurt, some with serious non-life threatening injuries.

 

Poor visibility and icey conditions from a winter storm were blamed.
