Create Account Emergency services were called to the Ste-Sophie Blvd. establishment at about 1 p.m., Sûreté du Québec spokesperson Stéphane Tremblay said on Sunday. The victim was transported in critical condition to a hospital, where her death was declared later that afternoon. The driver of the vehicle, a 16-year-old male, was uninjured but taken to a hospital to be treated for nervous shock. He had a learner's permit and was accompanied in the vehicle by at least one parent, said Tremblay. Security camera footage of the incident showed the young driver approach a parking spot in front of the establishment slowly: He then appears to have stepped on the accelerator instead of the brake and hit the picnic table at Les Sentiers des Saveurs at which the victim, a St-Jérôme resident, was seated.

The initial police report said no criminal element was suspected and attributed the event to a wrong move made as a result of inexperience. The vehicle crashed through the establishment's glass window. A young girl who was with the victim was slightly injured, Tremblay said. The temperature hit 32 degrees Celsius in Ste-Sophie on Saturday and dozens of people were in line waiting for ice cream or other refreshments when the collision took place. There were a number of witnesses to the incident and Les Sentiers des Saveurs closed for the rest of the day. Several witnesses and patrons posted comments on the establishment's Facebook page on Saturday praising the actions of staff and those who came to the aid of the victim. A post on Sunday said: 'Following yesterday's events, if any of you who were present at the site or if a loved one was, do not hesitate to contact 811 a crisis management cell is there to take care of you. … Let's look out for each other.' An investigator specializing in accident reconstruction was at the scene Saturday to establish the causes and circumstances of the event and photos of the scene were taken, Tremblay said. As well, the coroner asked for an assessment of the vehicle. The coroner is automatically involved when a collision involves a fatality, he explained. NFL Editorial Cartoons Golf Uncategorized Golf

Photo: (Jacques Boissinot/The Canadian Press) Nick Murray (new window) · The Canadian Press Car dealerships who are on the hook for thousands of dollars in electric vehicle rebates will have a month to make a claim to get their money back. Transport Canada laid out the details in a call Friday with dealerships, indicating any vehicle delivered before the program paused on Jan. 12 will be eligible for reimbursement. The Canadian Automobile Dealers Association welcomed the news, and estimates its members are owed about $11 million for rebates they had already delivered to customers but which were not reimbursement before the federal government said the program had run out of money. New EV rebate program in the works, environment minister says (new window) Dealerships will be allowed to file a maximum of 25 claims per day, which the association said will more than cover the shortfall. The Incentives for Zero-Emission Vehicles program ran out of funding in January after Ottawa spent nearly $3 billion on it during its five-year lifespan. The program provided up to $5,000 toward the purchase of a new zero-emission vehicle. The government has indicated it's looking at resuming the program in some form, but has not provided details.

Create Account Steeve Gagnon learned his fate following two days of deliberation by the jury, who found him guilty on all counts. Gagnon was on trial for three counts of first-degree murder and two counts of attempted murder of nine other people in March 2023 in Amqui, about 350 kilometres northeast of Quebec City. The Crown had argued the acts that led to the deaths were intentional and premeditated, saying he had formed and adapted a plan that resulted in pedestrians being run down on the road as he accelerated his truck onto the sidewalk. The accused, meanwhile, had argued the deaths were an accident in a moment of inattention when he picked up an e-cigarette from the cab of his truck. More coming.
