Police said the driver first hit a car on Highway 40 West near Boulevard Henri-Bourassa, then a second car near Marien Avenue.
He then reportedly hit the second car again, which projected his van into a wall on Highway 132 West, near Roland-Therrien Boulevard.
Quebec provincial police confirmed there were four children in the van. Police also found an undetermined amount of drugs.
One of the children was transported to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Police partially closed Highway 132 West for the investigation. A specialist has reconstructed the scene to determine what happened.
Due to the highway closure, severe traffic jams caused cars to be backed up as far as Boucherville.
According to Sûreté du Québec spokesperson Eloise Cossette, the man will be facing charges of dangerous driving.
