Saint-Martin Blvd. collision

The Laval Police Department is seeking witnesses to a road accident which happened around 1 a.m. on Nov. 6 at the intersection of Saint-Martin Blvd. and Pierre-Péladeau Ave., resulting in several injuries.
The driver at fault was moving eastward at high speed along Saint-Martin Blvd. when he lost control of his vehicle, crossed a grass median and collided with a car that was travelling westward on Saint-Martin. Four people were injured in the accident, two of them seriously.
An investigation by traffic accident investigators is currently underway. According to police spokesman Franco Di Genova, they were still waiting earlier this week to receive blood samples from the driver suspected of being under the influence of alcohol, as well as also results of tests done on the car’s skid marks which would indicate how fast he was going.
“We strongly believe that he was drunk and that he was also most probably speeding,” said Di Genova, adding that it would be several weeks before the results come back. “But we are also hoping that maybe somebody in the area saw something.” There are several night spots in the area and it is hoped patrons from some of them who might have witnessed the accident will come forth.
Anyone with information about the accident is urged to call the Laval Police’s info line at 450-662-INFO (4636), or 9-1-1. The dossier number is LVL 111106 011. All information will be treated confidentially.
