Motorist charged after deadly hit and run in Bas-Saint-Laurent

A 35-year-old man was charged with two counts of hit and run causing death at the Rivière-du-Loup courthouse Monday in the wake of an incident early Sunday that saw two people die while walking along a rural road near Packington, a town near the Maine and New Brunswick borders in Quebec’s Bas-Saint-Laurent region.
The suspect, a resident of nearby St-Marc-du-Lac-Long, was arrested several hours after a 78-year-old man and 77 year-old woman were struck and killed at 10:15 a.m. b
