“Divers from the Sûreté du Québec are on the scene as well as nautical patrol officers to continue the search. The patrollers will also comb the banks of the sector, ”said Sergeant Maythé Bolduc, spokesperson for the Sûreté du Québec (SQ), in an interview on Saturday morning.
During the day on Friday, the Sûreté du Québec also used its helicopter and a drone over the places deemed the most dangerous. Firefighters had also joined the search teams.
The tragedy occurred around 12:30 p.m. Thursday when a group of four people allegedly found themselves under the Rolland Street bridge on the rocky surface in good weather, where the current is extremely strong at this time- this year. The teenager would have slipped before falling into the river, according to the first testimonies.
The search has been ongoing since Thursday afternoon.
