His brother, three-year-old Zachary, suffered serious injuries including a broken neck and pelvis.

At the time of the crash, police said excessive speed for the road conditions were to blame. However, they have decided not to lay charges against the mother, much to the relief of the family.

Bertrand says the development will help them move forward and focus on Zachary’s recovery.
