Traffic resumed on Highway 30 in Boucherville, on Montreal’s South Shore on Thursday, following the pileup the day before that left two dead and four injured.
The collision between a heavy truck and several vehicles that occurred Wednesday afternoon forced the closure of Highway 30 eastbound at Montarville Blvd.
The traffic obstruction continued for several hours while emergency crews completed their work, but the eastbound lanes were reopened Thursday morning.
