Girl in critical condition after crash in snow

(Saint-Ubalde) A 9-year-old girl is between life and death after an accident in the snow, in a wood behind a residence in Saint-Ubalde, in the MRC of Portneuf.


The victim was building a snow fort with another girl, this one 7 years old, when the building collapsed on top of them. The Sûreté du Québec (SQ) was called to the scene around 2:40 p.m., along with paramedics and firefighters.

The first responders “had to perform resuscitation maneuvers” with the nine-year-old child, who “is currently in critical condition,” said SQ spokesperson Béatrice Dorsainville.

The seven-year-old girl was also injured, but there are no fears for her life.

“We have an investigator and the forensic identification service who go on site to carry out the analysis of the scene”, added Mme Dorsainville. She could not immediately clarify whether the children were accompanied by an adult during the event.
