An Ontario woman in her 50s remains in hospital in critical condition on Monday after a deadly gondola crash at Quebec’s Mont Tremblant resort over the weekend.
Quebec provincial police said the incident happened just before noon on Sunday, when heavy construction equipment struck the moving gondola, ejecting two passengers.
Both victims, a man and a woman from Ontario, were rushed to hospital in critical condition.
The man, also in his 50s, died of his injuries on Sunday.
Police would not confirm the connection between the man and the woman.
In a statement issued Sunday, officials of the popular resort extended their condolences to all involved.
The resort also specified the heavy machinery involved in the fatal crash was operated by a third party.
The gondola ride remains closed until further notice amid the ongoing investigation by Sûreté du Québec officers.
