One person remains in hospital after deadly gondola crash at Quebec’s Mont Tremblant

MONT-TREMBLANT, Que. — Quebec provincial police say one person was killed and another seriously injured Sunday at the Mont Tremblant resort when a gondola collided with a drilling machine.

They say two people from Ontario were thrown from the gondola — a man in his 50s who died in hospital and a woman in her 50s who is in critical condition in hospital.

Police say the gondola struck a piece of construction machinery that was being operated by a third party about halfway up the mountain, located about 130 kilometres northwest of Montreal.

Sgt. Audrey-Anne Bilodeau says police hope to meet with the drill operator and other witnesses, adding that the construction machinery will be inspected.
