Nearly 200 cars involved in massive multi-vehicle pileup outside of Montreal

A code orange was declared in three hospitals after about 200 vehicles, including 15 trucks, were involved in a major crash on Highway 15 in the Quebec city of Montreal.

Transport Minister François Bonnardel said 50 vehicles were completely destroyed and 75 need towing following the crash that spanned over one kilometre of the highway. He blamed a sudden gust of wind from the St. Lawrence River for causing the whiteout that led to the pileup in the area.
