Inflatable House Launched by Storm, Child Critical

A violent thunderstorm in the Greater Montreal area on Sunday afternoon caused a terrifying accident at Ouellette Park in LaSalle. A severe storm, capable of producing strong wind gusts, lifted an inflatable house approximately 40 feet into the air, with children trapped inside. The inflatable house later crashed to the ground, resulting in injuries.

Emergency services evaluated eleven individuals at the scene, including four adults and two children who were transported to the hospital. A three-year-old child remains in critical condition following the incident, which occurred around 4:25 p.m. local time. Local officials expressed deep sadness and offered full support to the families affected by the tragic event.
