Quebec’s public security minister says one person is dead and three others are injured after a collision between two small planes over a bustling shopping mall south of Montreal.
Martin Coiteux gave the update while attending an event in Montreal this afternoon.
Earlier, Longueuil police said each plane only had a pilot on board and that both were injured.
One of the planes crashed on the roof of the Promenades Saint-Bruno, while the other slammed into the parking lot.
A security perimeter has been set up near the shopping centre.
Witnesses at the scene described hearing a loud bang.
