The deadly collision on Monday afternoon in the center of Amqui is still under investigation. According to police, the pickup truck driver on St-Benoît Boulevard, commonly known as Route 132, allegedly struck pedestrians with the vehicle. As a result, two individuals were killed.
According to St-Pierre, three victims still had critical injuries and were in danger of dying as of Tuesday morning. Although the lives of the other six victims were gravely hurt, they were not in danger.
Upon surrendering to authorities, the suspect was detained on suspicion of murder and a fatal hit-and-run. Officers said the evidence points to a deliberate action, albeit a reason is still unknown.
