A man was killed and two others injured after a car struck a tree on Spring Garden Street in Dollard-des-Ormeaux early Saturday morning. Emergency services were called to the scene near Fabre Street just before 4 a.m., after several residents reported hearing a crash.

According to authorities, firefighters and paramedics arrived to find three men trapped inside the vehicle. One passenger was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver and the other passenger were taken to hospital. Their conditions had not been confirmed as of Saturday morning while they undergo treatment.

Investigators believe that the car may have been travelling at high speed before veering off the roadway and hitting the tree. The SPVM’s collision unit set up a perimeter in order to examine the site and collect evidence.

Despite the early hours, officials were able to speak with a number of witnesses.

The identities of those involved have not yet been released.

The investigation remains ongoing. n
