A CUPE member tragically lost his life at work when the bus he was driving collided with another vehicle near the Montreal airport. A passenger in the other vehicle was also killed, and 12 people were injured in the accident.
Sylvain Ferland, a 23-year employee of the Montreal transit corporation (STM) and member of CUPE 1983, was driving STM route 196 when the accident occurred at the corner of 55th Avenue and Lindsay Avenue, in Dorval. The bus was flipped onto its side, and Ferland was pinned underneath.
