How Did 2 Laval Police Officers End Up Hospitalised After a Crash on des Laurentides Blvd?

What happened

Two Laval police officers responding to an emergency call were injured when their patrol car collided at high speed with another vehicle on des Laurentides Blvd before crashing into a lamppost. The crash happened at around 11:30 a.m. on Thursday, 1 October 2026, directly across from the Atlantis Gym at the intersection of Renaud St. West in Laval's Vimont district.

How the crash unfolded

• The two officers were travelling in emergency mode — with lights and siren activated — rushing to the scene of a domestic violence incident.
• The driver of a Ford Mustang Mach-E apparently failed to see the patrol car as she turned onto des Laurentides from a side street; the speeding police vehicle was unable to avoid her.
• After the impact, the Mustang was left immobilised in the centre lane of the boulevard, while the patrol car continued onward until striking a lamppost at the side of the road.

Casualties

• Both officers were taken to Sacre-Coeur Hospital in Montreal with various injuries, including cuts and burns caused by the airbag system. Their lives were not believed to be in danger.
• The 49-year-old woman driving the Mustang sustained lower-body injuries; her condition was not considered serious.

Wider context

The stretch of des Laurentides outside the Atlantis Gym was the scene of another major crash in early August 2026, when two people died after their vehicle crashed while fleeing police.
