A 25-year-old man, a 22-year-old woman, and their eight-month-old baby from Laval died in a road accident involving their minivan on Highway 401 in Quinte West.
While the Laval couple was pronounced dead at the scene, their infant was later declared deceased at the hospital.
The fourth member of this Laval family, a four-year-old child, was transported to a trauma center in Toronto by Ornge Air Ambulance with serious injuries.
The incident occurred around 1:15 p.m. on Saturday, November 9, on the westbound lanes of Highway 401, west of the County Road 40 interchange, according to Quinte West police on their X account (formerly Twitter).
The family minivan collided with the rear of a semi-truck.
At the time, traffic in the area had slowed or stopped due to an earlier collision to the west.
Officers, as well as Quinte West fire and emergency services and Hastings-Quinte paramedic services, responded to the scene.
The semi-truck driver was not injured.
Following the collision, westbound Highway 401 was closed for several hours for the investigation.
The Ontario Provincial Police in Quinte West continues to investigate with the assistance of OPP collision reconstructionists and technical collision investigation team members, in collaboration with the Office of the Chief Coroner.
