On Monday morning, a violent accident occurred on Highway 30 at the entrance to Highway 20 East, which ended in a rollover.
A degenerate police pursuit could possibly have triggered the event.
According to TVA Nouvelles, the damaged vehicle was stolen around 4 a.m. in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu.
Police would have pursued him first on Highway 10, then the pursuit would have resumed on Highway 30 East.
According to our on-site journalist Audrey Folliot, the driver of the stolen vehicle would have knocked down a lamppost before finishing his race on the roof of the Highway 20 East access ramp.
