The victim was crossing the boulevard to get to that terminus of the same name before being hit by a vehicle travelling east. At that time, she was transported to a hospital within minutes of the incident, and the SPL said they “feared for her life”.

The driver, in her 40s, was treated for a nervous shock.

That incident occurred less than two hours, after another collision between a vehicle and a pedestrian happened in Auteuil. The victim was travelling from east to west, at 7656 des Laurentides Boulevard, which is located between Riopelle and Rémillard streets.

“Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) maneuvers were attempted when help arrived, but the death of the victim was confirmed on the spot,” confirmed the Service de police de Laval (SPL) spokesperson, Stéphanie Beshara, following the incident. “The victim was a 61-year-old man.”

For both cases, the SPL favoured the thesis of accidental events. (N.P.)

It was 10:21 a.m. when the baby was spotted not far from the place where his mother and four-year-old sister had themselves been extricated from the vehicle that had run aground in the water, near des Érables Street and Saint-Antoine Road, in Laval-sur-le-Lac.

It took place on Friday, October 28, shortly before 5 p.m.

Since discovering that the baby’s body was missing, the emergency services were carrying out intensive searches in the area, both on the water and on the banks.

The SQ divers finally found the baby in the water, before handing it over to firefighters from Laval’s Fire and Safety Department, to watch over the body while waiting to hand it over to paramedics, and then to a coroner in charge of the autopsy.

The Facts

Last Friday, October 28, people contacted 911 after seeing a SUV partially submerged in the Mille-Îles River.

A mother in her 30s and her two children, a four-year-old children and a one-month-old baby, were in the vehicle that was drowned in the water.

As soon as they were taken out alive of the vehicle, the mother and her girl were entrusted to Urgences-santé paramedics to be transported to a hospital.

The mother’s still hospitalized. Her condition is still considered critical, and can’t be met by the Service de police de Laval (SPL) investigators of crimes against the person of the SPL, who do not rule out a voluntary act on her part.
