Pierre Ny St-Amand, the bus driver accused of killing two children and injuring four by ramming into a daycare in Laval last year, was summoned to stand trial following a preliminary investigation that lasted four days.
The 52-year-old man will therefore face trial for premeditated murder, according to the decision of judge François Landry rendered Thursday afternoon at the Saint-Jérôme courthouse. He is accused of driving into an educational daycare in Laval with a bus from the city’s transportation network on February 8, 2023.
He is also charged with attempted murder and aggravated assault.

The preliminary investigation aims to determine whether all the evidence is sufficient to hold a trial.
