Two people, including an 11-year-old child and 42-year-old woman, died in a multi-vehicle pileup on Montreal’s South Shore.
Ten people were also injured in the accident that involved seven vehicles and a heavy truck.
It happened around 10:30 p.m. in a construction zone on Highway 30 eastbound in St-Hubert.
The Sûreté du Québec (SQ) report that the driver of the 18-wheeler did not slow down as he approached the roadwork area near Grande-Allée Blvd. and ended up crashing into the seven vehicles in front of him.
The two fatalities were in the same vehicle.
SQ still fear for the lives of a 55-year-old man and a 16-year-old, who were also seriously injured and remain in critical condition. Eight others are being treated for minor injuries.
