Multi-vehicle crash in Laval leaves girl, 6, dead and infant critically injured

A six-year-old girl has died and her infant sister is fighting for her life following a multi-vehicle crash Monday night in Laval, north of Montreal.

Laval police Lt. Geneviève Major says the six-year-old was pronounced dead today in hospital while her five-month-old sister was in critical condition in hospital.

The crash involving four vehicles sent nine people to hospital, including the young victims’ parents.

The violent collision occurred about 7:30 p.m. on Monday on Route 335, near Dagenais Boulevard, after a northbound vehicle lost control and struck three others in both the north and south lanes.

He was released under a promise to appear at a later date as the Crown asked for additional information.

Major said the incident remains under investigation and could take months to complete.
