US EditionQuebec daycare bus crash: Final arguments on high-risk offender status for driver
- On May 1, 2025, a judge in Quebec's Superior Court will listen to concluding arguments to determine if Pierre Ny St-Amand should be designated a high-risk offender following his bus crash into a daycare near Montreal.
- This legal case follows the late April 2025 determination that Ny St-Amand was not criminally responsible due to a mental health condition for the deaths of two children and the injuries of six others in the February 8, 2023 incident.
- The crash killed four-year-old Jacob Gauthier and five-year-old Maéva, whose family name is under a publication ban requested by her parents.
- Ny St-Amand’s defence opposes the Crown’s application for high-risk designation and challenges its constitutionality, with Justice Éric Downs set to hear this challenge in mid-November 2025.
- If declared high-risk, Ny St-Amand would face stricter rules during detention at a treatment centre, reflecting the Crown’s position on public safety.
