Gaspé resident Lisa Bond was driving through Mont-Saint-Pierre on her way back from a beach vacation when the snow descended on her vehicle within seconds.

Lisa Bond had just pulled out her phone to film a view of the mountains near Mont-Saint-Pierre Que., when snow started rolling toward her car.

Within a few seconds, she says her vehicle on Highway 132 was almost encased.

“My focus was not on the avalanche, but my boyfriend saw it coming,” said Bond. “And then [the] next thing you know … we were just being buried by the snow.”

Provincial police say three people were climbing near the site of the avalanche, but there were no injuries. A special avalanche warning has been issued by Avalanche Quebec for many sections of the northern shore of the Haute-Gaspésie region.
