“It appears that the driver of the car, a 64 year old man, was travelling on Châteauneuf Boulevard when for unknown reasons, he changed lanes and collided with another vehicle,” said SPVM spokesperson Manuel Couture.

After colliding with the other car, the driver crashed into an apartment building.

The man sustained serious injuries and was rushed to the hospital in critical condition.

The 40-year-old woman driving the other vehicle was also taken to the hospital. Her injuries are not considered life-threatening.
