Car crashes during Montreal blackout, no driver or passenger remain on scene


Montreal police (SPVM) are investigating a mysterious single-vehicle crash that happened in the early hours of Thursday during the blackout caused by the major ice storm on Wednesday night.


At around 1:20 a.m., a 911 call reported that a car crashed at the Souligny Avenue and Dickson Street intersection in the Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve borough.


Police arrived on the scene and located the vehicle that had smashed through a chain-link fence and landed on its roof.


However, no one was in or near the car.


"We still don't know at this time if there was a driver or passenger," said SPVM spokesperson Caroline Chevrefils.


Police were unable to check surveillance cameras as there was no power in the area.


The investigation is ongoing.
