Montreal police say several streets in Pierrefonds are flooded and cordoned off
A storm system over Quebec on Saturday has led to flooding on the island of Montreal, making getting around hazardous in some areas.
Montreal police spokesperson Joany Charland said several units were dispatched to the borough of Pierrefonds, in the West Island, to assist local officials.
Several streets have been cordoned off and officers are on site to ensure no one is stuck in floodwaters and in need of assistance.
Charland said motorists should avoid Pierrefonds Boulevard and surrounding areas, but the situation is in flux.
Transports Quebec for its part is warning that exits 52 and 55 on Highway 40, in the West Island are closed due to flooding.
An Urgences-Santé spokesperson said a few residents were evaluated for symptoms of hypothermia, but none had been transported to the hospital as of 8:20 p.m..
