The collision is said to have occurred around 2 p.m. that Tuesday. LaPresse was told the driver did not suffer any "major injuries."

Tuesday evening, la Surêté claimed it was "too early" to know the exact cause and circumstances of this collision, but an investigation is ongoing, according to LaPresse.

An assessment is supposed to be performed on the vehicle, which was an SUV, in the coming days, which could help with la Surêté's investigation of the incident.
