At least three people were killed as two tractor-trailers and six passenger vehicles collided on a highway in Laval, Canada on Monday afternoon, sparking a smoky fire that could be seen kilometers away, according to CTV.
One of the tractor-trailers carrying food caught fire, and the flames spread to the other and another passenger vehicle. A vehicle was carrying propane tanks.
Emergency crews rushed to the scene and shut all westbound lanes of Highway 440, and those lanes were closed for several hours.
Police are still investigating the accident's cause.
