Two young women have been injured, one to a life-threatening extent, in what appears to be a car-surfing incident, though authorities can’t yet confirm the details.
The two women are being taken to hospital in Montreal from Beauharnois, near Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, where the incident occurred, said a spokesperson for CETAM, the paramedics’ cooperative in Montérégie.
The accident happened at 9:20 pm Tuesday on Melocheville Blvd., said the spokesperson.
Police reports said the women are in their late teens or early 20s and there are indications that at least one was car-surfing and sustained a very serious head injury.
Car-surfing refers to a daredevil activity where someone rides on top of a fast-moving car.
One of the women was taken to hospital for minor injuries and the other was taken to a trauma center for critical injuries, CETAM said.
No other details were immediately available Tuesday evening.
