Montreal family wants apology from city after video shows snow plow striking cars
Global News
A Montreal family says its cars were severely damaged by a snow plow during a major snow storm on Monday morning, but the city has denied responsibility.
A Montreal family is asking for an apology from the city after a snow plow was caught on camera crashing into multiple vehicles.
The collisions took place during a major snowstorm earlier in the week. One of the family’s cars was hit so hard it is believed to be a total loss.
“It was 8:30 in the morning. My neighbour rang the doorbell and told us right away that our cars had been hit,” said Saint-Laurent borough resident Vince Confuorti.
Confuorti went outside his wife and three sons Monday morning to find their van and Tesla both severely damaged. The side panels on both vehicles had deep dents and scratches. The van’s windows were blown out as a result of impact allowing snow to accumulate inside.
“It makes me sad, that’s for sure,” Confuorti said as he showed Global News the damage on his Tesla Saturday morning. He said he just got the car a few months ago. One of its side mirrors was also ripped off.
The damage was inflicted during a storm that dumped 30 cm on the city, and they immediately suspected a snow plow. Footage from the Tesla’s onboard cameras confirmed the hypothesis. A massive plow can be seen striking the car while pushing snow to the side of the road.
“Obviously, I was pretty upset,” Confuorti said of the moment he saw the footage.
Their neighbour’s surveillance camera also captured video of the collisions. The neighbour’s vehicles had been hit as well.
