5 injured after bus crashes into Laval daycare
All eight victims were transported to hospital in critical condition. Nine ambulances have been dispatched to the scene. At least one of the victims is a child.
A parent at the scene alleged the driver"voluntarily entered the daycare parking lot and accelerated to crash into the daycare."During a scrum with reporters, police would not confirm the state of the driver, and said it was too early to provide details into the event. "Our hearts go out to the families and employees affected by this tragedy," wrote Laval's public transport agency, the STL.
"Panic ... panic ... I called all my friends," said Julia Moreno, who said her three-year-old son was not in danger. Montreal's Sainte-Justine children's hospital said in a statement it is"welcoming the young victims … with serious injuries requiring urgent care." "What a terrible tragedy this morning in Laval," wrote Legault."There is nothing worse than being afraid for your child. I am thinking of the children, parents and employees."
