Public safety minister speculates about alleged driver now faces two charges of dangerous driving causing death: ‘Was there a problem of mental health?’
MONTREAL—After a second deadly vehicle rampage in two months, Quebec’s public safety minister says it may be time to review whether people with certain mental health problems should be prevented from getting behind the wheel.that killed two people and injured nine others in Amqui, Que., said the government has an obligation to review the facts of the case to determine whether there are measures that can be taken to improve public safety in the province.
Among the injured are two children, one that is three years old and another that is less than one year old. “We can’t presume anything with the driver in this case. Was it intentional? Was there a problem of mental health? We don’t know,” Bonnardel said in a briefing with reporters in the town, a town in the Gaspé Peninsula about 400 kilometres northeast of Quebec City.
In earlier an earlier interview with Radio-Canada, the minister said officials need to know if people responsible for such acts had mental health problems and, if so, whether they were receiving medical treatment.In the later news conference, Bonnardel insisted that he was “thinking out loud” and clarified that the provincial government was not announcing a change or review of any policies.
