Four people were taken to hospital on Sunday night after a crash involving six cars on Décarie Boulevard.
Montreal police spokesperson Caroline Chèvrefils said a 71-year-old man suffered a health problem at around 6:40 p.m. that caused him to lose control of his car and burn through a red light.

As a result of the first incident, a series of accidents happened minutes later with four additional cars colliding, police said.
