It took almost an hour for emergency crews to arrive at the deadly crash on 63 that killed 7 people a week ago.
Dion Lefebvre says he and a co-worker pulled their moving truck over and helped pull people from the wreckage.
He says 63 is so dangerous that he won’t even let his employees drive it on Thursdays and Sundays.
“There’s just no business being on that highway on that day, it’s just chaotic,” he said.
He says doesn’t blame first responders for the late response because they got there as quickly as they could.
“If there’s an accident, a lot of times traffic is backed up for miles, and that was the case with this one too,” he said.
The Globe and Mail is reporting that the province promised a year ago to add 4 full-time first responders to monitor Highway 63, but hasn’t filled the positions.
