The crash involving four vehicles sent nine people to hospital, including the young victims’ parents.

The violent collision occurred about 7:30 p.m. on Monday on Route 335, near Dagenais Boulevard, after a northbound vehicle lost control and struck three others in both the north and south lanes.

Major says investigators met with a 40-year-old man involved in the collision and considered an important witness in the case.

He was released under a promise to appear at a later date as the Crown asked for additional information.
