Rentrée traffic made worse by suicide attempt

A woman’s attempt to kill herself Tuesday morning and an accident on the south shore blocked up the Champlain and made a bad morning rush hour even worse. Buses were also delayed and held up in the jam that spread all over the southern section of town. “It’s tremendous!” said one traffic cop as I hoofed along where I usually take a bus.

Commuter train users also had a rough time.
