Two children have died and six more have been taken to hospital after a bus crashed into a day care centre in Quebec, Canada. Police in Laval, north of Montreal, said the bus driver was arrested and charged with with first degree murder.
Police set up a large perimeter around the building in Laval, and panicked parents who ran to the centre were diverted to a nearby school. Dozens of police and emergency vehicles lined the blocked-off road leading to the centre.
Driver Pierre Ny St-Amand, 51, is facing nine charges including two counts of first degree murder. The driver had worked for Societe de transport de Laval for 10 years, and had no criminal history and a clean work record, police officials and Laval mayor Stephane Boyer said at two separate news conferences.
