CHÂTEAUGUAY, Que. — A 13-year-old girl remains in critical condition in a Quebec hospital this morning after being buried in snow on Tuesday.
Police in Châteauguay, Que., a suburb on Montreal’s South Shore, say emergency services were dispatched at around 4 p.m. when the girl was found unresponsive under a collapsed snowbank in front of a residence.
First responders tried to revive the girl, who was transported to hospital.
Châteauguay Mayor Éric Allard said in a Facebook message Tuesday that the girl had probably been trapped in a collapsed snow tunnel.
