Mansfield mayor denounces vehicles speeding on flooded streets

Mansfield Mayor Sandra Armstrong was visibly upset this morning (May 8) in her daily interview with CHIP 101.9. Over the past few days, council had been notified that some motorists are not following instructions and are driving at high speed through flooded streets. A delivery man from a store filmed himself doing so, which deeply shocked Armstrong, who said she called the Sûreté du Québec.

High-speed traffic in flooded areas can cause waves that have the potential to damage property. Mayor Sandra Armstrong has promised hefty fines to those who do not follow the instructions. Sandra Armstrong asks to respect the residents who have had to live with the floods for several days now.
