A 35-year-old man was fortunate enough to suffer only minor injuries after a tractor-trailer truck crashed into a McDonald’s in Saint-Leonard early Friday morning.
The crash took place shortly after midnight in the parking lot on the service road of the Metropolitain Blvd. E and Lacordaire Blvd.

The semi swerved before hitting a low wall of a neighbouring establishment, slowing it down – but not enough to avoid the restaurant.
The truck crashed into the corner of the McDonald’s, partially damaging the eating area. The man, eating inside, suffered injuries to his ankle.
