One person was arrested after a city bus hit a daycare on Wednesday morning in Laval, Que., just north of Montreal, injuring at least five people.
A Laval police spokesperson said a bus from the Société de transport de Laval hit a daycare in the Sainte-Rose neighbourhood, on Terrasse Dufferin around 8:30 a.m.
Quebec Transport Minister François Bonnardel said the driver of the bus had been arrested.
An Urgences-santé spokesperson said at least five were injured, and at least one person had been transported to hospital with life-threatening injuries. More injuries were expected, the spokesperson said, but as of 9:30 a.m., details of the injured, including their ages, were not known.
Urgences-santé dispatched seven ambulances, a “tactical medical vehicle” — which responds to unusual medical situations, often alongside police — and a rapid response team.
More to come.
