Laval police say one man is dead and another injured after a collision at a car wash in Laval on Tuesday morning.
The crash allegedly happened around 10:50 a.m. at the Lave Auto Pont Viau near the intersection of Laurentides and Concordes Blvd., in the city’s Pont-Viau district.
Police say, a 72-year-old man was waiting in line at the car wash when, for an undisclosed reason, he rear-ended the car in front of him.
The car also collided with the building causing part of the structure to collapse. During the crash, a 50-year-old man was struck and a 38-year-old man, was also hit.
Police say the 50-year-old man was pronounced dead on scene and the 38-year-old man suffered minor injuries.
Whether the two men were employees at the car wash is still unclear.
Police say Quebec’s workplace safety board, the CNESST, is also involved in this case.
Laval police have ruled out criminal intent. The investigation is ongoing.
