Two people were killed and another 70 injured in a massive, roughly 200-car pileup outside of Montreal.

蒙特利尔郊外发生约200辆汽车连环相撞事故，造成2人死亡，70人受伤。

A sudden blizzard blinded drivers as it swept through a highway in the city suburb of La Prairie, Quebec, leaving a nearly mile-long stretch of wrecked of sedans, buses and trucks, the Canada Broadcasting Corporation reported.

据加拿大广播公司报道，一场突如其来的暴风雪席卷了魁北克省拉普雷里市郊区的一条高速公路，严重影响司机们的视线，最终留下了近一英里长的轿车、公共汽车和卡车残骸。

“People were driving, there were strong winds … and, suddenly, you couldn’t see anything,” Transport Minister Francois Bonnardel told reporters. “And then, well, the pileup started.”

法国交通部长弗朗索瓦•邦纳德尔在接受记者采访时说:“当时人们正在开车，突然刮起大风……一瞬间，什么也看不见了。”“然后，连环相撞就开始了。”

At least two drivers were trapped in their vehicles for more than five hours after the crash occurred around 12:30 p.m, according to the Guardian.

据《卫报》报道，事故发生在下午12:30左右，至少两名司机被困车内超过5个小时。

Footage shows a heap of cars completely totaled, with first responders laboring to tow vehicles out of snowbanks along the roadway.
