Up to nine people, including a five-month-old baby, were injured Monday evening in a multi-vehicle collision on Route 335 in Laval’s Vimont district near the corner of Dagenais Boulevard.
Eight victims were transported to hospital, according to a Laval Police spokesperson.
Two of them were in serious condition and had lost consciousness.
The accident involved at least three vehicles, a number that could, however, go higher after the police complete an accident investigation.
According to preliminary reports, a vehicle travelling northbound lost control around 7:30 p.m.
It then struck another vehicle travelling in the same direction before colliding with a third vehicle travelling in the opposite direction.
The cause of the accident remained unknown at mid-day on Tuesday.
Route 335 was closed in both directions to allow investigators to determine the circumstances of the accident.
