Arrest in alleged hit and run

A young man accused of causing a fatal collision on the Turcot in June has been arrested. After the crash, Yasser Laroui is said to have fled the scene and left for Algeria, but returned to Canada not long ago.

Since 2022, Laroui has violated the Highway Code and municipal regulations 37 times, but he still had his licence.

CTV says in addition that Laroui was found with car theft tools on him, but the car he was driving wasn’t stolen and he has no criminal record.
