Laval emergency services were called to two accident scenes on Thursday, May 29, one in Sainte-Rose and the other in Fabreville, the latter involving a pedestrian.
The first incident occurred around 5:21 p.m., when a 911 call reported a collision on Saint-Elzéar Boulevard West, just east of Highway 15.
A driver had reportedly struck a moving vehicle on the road while exiting a commercial parking lot.
The first of the 14 firefighters dispatched to the scene — four units from the Laval Fire Department and their officers — arrived by 5:26 p.m. and took only four minutes to extricate two individuals trapped in their vehicle using rescue tools.
The two victims, who were in shock and suffering from neck pain, were handed over to Urgences-santé paramedics.
Two other people were in the second vehicle involved, but fortunately, they were unharmed.
Pedestrian Seriously Injured
Later, around 10:40 p.m., a second 911 call reported another accident, this one at the intersection of Dagenais Boulevard and Jacques Street.
The driver of a sedan was traveling westbound on Dagenais Boulevard when he struck a pedestrian.
The victim, a 36-year-old man, was transported to the hospital with serious injuries that, fortunately, were not life-threatening.
A security perimeter was established, and the scene was handed over to investigators from the Laval Police Department’s collision investigation unit. The accident is not being treated as criminal in nature.
