Follow us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/the4kguy At 4h pm yesterday a spectacular fiery crash left one person dead and multiple others injured on Highway 40 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Incredible video footage show a man trying to rescue a truck driver moments after the collision, while fire is starting to break out. The accident happened on at a busy time of the day on an elevated portion of a highway in Montreal near St-Denis Street. A first transport truck was apparently stopped when a second truck slammed in its rear, trapping the driver. In the very early video footage, a man is seen walking to assess the condition of the possible victim when he noticed flames starting to break under the cab. He then started running frantically, trying to force open both doors of the semi with a crowbar but without success. Fire grew and quickly involved the wrecked truck before propagating to the truck ahead. Within minutes a large cloud of black smoke rose above heavy flames. Images in this video also show the view from inside a nearby office building where smoke completely blocked all natural light. One man was declared dead on scene. SIM fire crews were busy for hours battling the intense and unusual blaze. Montreal mayor Denis Codere as well as Engineers and investigators went to the scene of the accident and only the eastbound lanes of the highway have been re-opened. At mark 1:08 an explosion can be seen throwing flaming liquid in the opposite lanes while traffic is still going, nearly missing cars on its way to the ground. The fire was contained to the elevated part of the road and traffic in the streets underneath kept going until the arrival of fire fighters.
