A provincial police spokeswoman said nine other people were injured, including two whose injuries are considered serious. Sgt. Hélène St-Pierre says the 38-year-old driver, a local resident, turned himself in to police and was arrested under suspicion of committing a fatal hit and run. The incident happened just after 3 p.m. along St-Benoit Boulevard in Amqui, a town about 350 kilometers northeast of Quebec City.
