Jury selection to begin in trial of Quebec man charged in deadly 2023 truck attack
Jury selection is beginning in the trial of a man charged with killing three people with a truck in eastern Quebec.
Forty-year-old Steeve Gagnon faces five charges, including three counts of first-degree murder and two counts of attempted murder.
Gagnon turned himself in to police after a truck struck pedestrians on a main street of Amqui, Que., in March 2023.
The town is about 350 kilometres northeast of Quebec City.
The incident claimed the lives of 65-year-old Gerald Charest, 73-year-old Jean Lafreniere and 41-year-old Simon-Guillaume Bourget.
The case will be heard at a courthouse in Rimouski, Que., also northeast of Quebec City.
