Eric Legare Accident in Beauport
On Friday afternoon Eric Legare who is injured appeared through the phone on Friday in the afternoon, he was talking from the hospital where he is being treated for the injuries that he has sustained during the accident. He is facing many charges of impaired driving which has caused the death of two people, impaired driving which has caused bodily harm and he is going to be also charged for dangerous driving.
It is being stated, charges can be changed and others could be brought against him, it seems like the investigation is on its course as it is still going on as of this point in time. The public Prosecutor has opposed his release, he is going to be remaining in detention until there is going to be further noticed.
There were no family members of the victim who were present at the hearing at the Quebec city in Courthouse. In the year 2017, Mr. Legare was pleaded guilty in municipal court for impaired driving, this has been stated by Pierre-Alexandre Bernard who is the Prosecutor at DPCP.
He was then fined $1000 and was banned from driving for 12 months for some acts which dated back to the year 2015. It seems like two people have lost their lives in the accident which took place on Thursday in the Borough of Beauport, the name of the deceased are Shellie Fletcher who was at the age of 44, and James Fletcher who was at the age of 68, they both were the residents of Quebec city.
There were two children who were in the back of the car who was suffering from some serious injuries and they are in a critical condition as of now and it seems like we are fearing for their lives. It has been further stated he was influenced by alcohol as he was driving his vehicle at a high speed Eastbound.
He was the person who struck three cars at a traffic light as he couldn’t slow down his car on time because of the influence of alcohol and there was another person who was slightly injured whose car was in the middle.
I’m sorry to say that the two children (a 10-year-old girl and her 14-year-old brother) involved in this accident have both passed from their injuries. The death toll is now up to 4 people, all members of the same family.
