One person is dead and two others have sustained serious injuries after a motorcycle crash on Highway 440 in Laval.
A 911 call was placed at around 9 p.m. on Wednesday, after a motorcyclist crashed into a construction worker closing off the highway’s left lane at kilometre 34.
Shortly after the worker was struck, the motorcycle hit a parked pickup truck. That second collision ejected the driver and passenger aboard the motorcycle into the air, killing the driver.
