The accident that took place in Montreal, Canada, is the result of reckless driving and lack of experience
It’s often said that car meets are enjoyable until someone botches the exit. Regrettably, the worst-case scenario unfolded once more on Sunday, September 10, in Montreal, Canada, as a BMW driver attempted to show off and ended up colliding with two pedestrians and a street lamp.
It seems that inexperience may have played a significant role in the incident. The M4 lost control as it oversteered, mounting the curb and striking two individuals with considerable force. Subsequently, it crashed into a pole, causing it to collapse.
In the video, the first person wearing a white hoodie is briefly visible before the collision, while another pedestrian dressed in black was thrown several meters into the air due to the impact. A third individual, dressed in red, narrowly avoided being struck by the falling street lamp, which landed on the roof of a parked Nissan X-Trail.
According to le Journal de Montreal, the 28-year-old driver of the BMW was not injured and is expected to face criminal charges. The court hearing is slated for Monday, September 11. We can only hope for a full recovery for both injured individuals, and it’s crucial that the reckless driver is held accountable and stays off the streets for a while.
