Quebec daycare bus crash prompts high-risk offender review
Friday, May 9, 2025, 3:21 pm
A tragic bus crash at a Quebec daycare, which claimed the lives of two children, has prompted a court to schedule a hearing to determine whether the accused should be declared a high-risk offender. Community shock meets legal reckoning in this painful, hard-to-swallow episode.
The former bus driver was found not criminally responsible after the judge found that the accused was likely in psychosis when he crashed the bus into the daycare in 2023.
Des audiences se tiendront en septembre pour évaluer si l’individu responsable de l’accident de bus dans une garderie de Laval est un délinquant à risque élevé.
LAVAL - A court hearing will take place in September into whether a man who killed two children by driving a city bus into a Montreal-area daycare should be declared a high-risk offender.
