Grief-stricken people dropped off flowers and stuffed animals Thursday outside a Quebec daycare center that was smashed into by a city bus, killing two children and sending six to hospitals.
André Beaudoin, a father of a 2-year-old boy who attends the center in Laval, a town north of Montreal, was back a day after he pushed through debris to help pull injured children from under the bus that rammed into the building.Beaudoin said that Wednesday morning he had just parked his car to drop off his son when he saw the bus barrel into the day care center.
People, many in tears, stopped by to pay their respects and add to the growing memorial of flowers and stuffed toys in a snowbank outside the center where two 4-year-olds died in the incident. Pierre Ny St-Amand, a 51-year-old driver with the Laval transit corporation, was arrested at the scene Wednesday. He faces two counts of first-degree murder as well as seven other charges, including attempted murder and aggravated assault.
Asked what authorities could have done to prevent the incident, Bonnardel said: “No one can predict this kind of event. No one can predict that someone gets up in the morning, takes off with a bus and decides to hit a day care with a bus.”
