The Quebec government will release a highly anticipated report into a deadly overpass collapse on Thursday, following an inquiry that lasted six months.
-
The government called the inquiry to investigate the circumstances that caused the Highway 19 overpass in Laval to collapse on Sept. 30, 2006, killing five people and injuring six.
-
The inquiry was asked to determine a cause and make recommendations to avoid future disasters. It cannot determine legal liability.
-
Led by former Quebec premier Pierre Marc Johnson, the inquiry heard testimony from witnesses and probed technical details about the overpass structure and the inspections it underwent.
Couldn't happen to a nicer place, Quebec.
