This canadian police announced on Wednesday at least two children died and six more were injured After a bus crashed into a nursery in Laval, near Montreal, Canada.
Police, the 51-year-old bus driver, whose identity cannot be determined, arrested and charged with murder.
The bus was not a school, as stated at first, but a municipal transportation vehicle. All of the victims were in the nursery at the time of the incident.
While authorities did not specify the reasons for the incident, Laval mayor Stéphane Boyer said the theory was that the vehicle was hit the nursery “intentionally”.
The driver had worked for the municipal transport company Société de Transport de Laval (STL) for 10 years.
Witnesses reassured Canadian public broadcaster CBC that the driver did not try to avoid the nursery where some 80 children were staying, and rushed the bus into the building at high speed at 8:30 am local time (1:30 pm GMT). .
One witness, Hamdi Ben Chaabane, told CBC: It was seen that there was no accident and the vehicle was traveling at a speed of about 40 kilometers per hour.
Ben Chaabane added that just after the bus hit the nursery, the driver screamed completely naked from the vehicle.
At that time, some parents who left their children in kindergarten, use force to restrain the drive.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau described the incident as “incomprehensible” and expressed hope that all injured recover as soon as possible.
