MONTREAL — At least three people were rushed to hospital following a crash involving three trucks on a Montreal highway Thursday morning.

The crash occurred on Highway 40 in suburban Dorval at about 3:30 a.m.

Police say a tractor-trailer crashed into the back of a parked truck that was being used to protect worker in a construction zone.
