Man, 67, rescued after his Tesla falls into river during ferry transport near Montreal
A 67-year-old man escaped from his Tesla without any serious injuries after his car fell off a ferry and into a river on the northwestern edge of Montreal Wednesday. At around 5:20 p.m., Laval police received several 911 calls about a report of a car falling into the Rivière des Prairies. Police said the car was disembarking the ferry near Laval-sur-le-Lac when a mooring line from the ferry became loose, creating a gap that caused the vehicle to fall into the water. The cable ferry Paule II travels between Laval and Île Bizard. The driver managed to get out of his vehicle and reach the shore where he was rescued by a ferry employee who jumped into the water. The driver was sent to hospital to be treated for nervous shock. Police said the vehicle was pulled out of the river and is a total loss. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada said Thursday it has deployed a team of investigators to Laval to investigate the incident.

Driver escapes sinking car after Tesla falls off ferry near Montreal
A car fell off a ferry in the Montreal area on Wednesday afternoon, but its driver managed to escape the sinking vehicle and make it to shore. The car, a Tesla, fell into the water around 5:20 p.m. as it was disembarking from the Paule II, a small ferry that carries six cars between Île-Bizard and Laval, just north of Montreal. A Laval police spokesperson said one of the ferry's mooring lines detached as cars were disembarking, causing the ferry to drift away from the dock. Police say the Tesla fell into the gap. A 67-year-old man was at the wheel of the vehicle at the time. He managed to escape the car before it sank and a ferry employee jumped into the water to help him make it to shore. He was transported to the hospital to be treated for shock. The car has been removed from the water and is considered a total loss, according to police. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada said in a news release it was sending a team to investigate the incident.

Pogacar loses key teammate Almeida at Tour de France
Almeida fractured a rib on stage seven in a 12-rider downhill pile up, and limped home losing around 10 minutes on the day. After stage eight's baking run to Laval Saturday Pogacar said he had been impressed Almeida had managed to finish the day. "But can't ask him to kill himself for a bike race," Pogacar said. Before the fall Almeida himself was also in contention for a spot on the podium, and would have been of value in the mountainous second half of the Tour. © 2025 AFP
