The man, who was in critical condition after a collision on Route 116 East in Longueuil, in the Montérégie region, on Sunday morning, “is now out of danger,” the Longueuil Metropolitan Police Service (SPAL) announced this afternoon. However, he is suffering from “serious injuries,” said SPAL spokesperson Mélanie Mercille. The accident occurred around 6:15 a.m. near Highway 30, in the Saint-Hubert area. At the time, there were fears for the life of the 38-year-old man. “The Sûreté du Québec’s collision investigation is complete. The SPAL’s investigation, however, is continuing to determine the circumstances of the incident,” said Mercille. Route 116 East toward Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville was reopened to traffic in the early afternoon. This report by The Canadian Press was first published in French on Oct. 4, 2026.
