The motorcyclists, a 52-year-old female and a 58-year-old male, were transported to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The 18-year-old driver of the car involved in the incident was taken into custody, but was released by police early Wednesday morning.

“He was released with a summon to appear in court at a later date.”
Montreal police are encouraging anybody with information about this incident to contact them.
