In Memoriam – Constable Donovan LagrangeThe Surete du Quebec Police Department has announced that Montreal Provincial Police Constable Donovan Lagrange has passed away due to injuries he sustained in a traffic crash.  Constable Lagrange was working a radar speed zone on Highway 640 near Bois-de-Filion when he had stopped two vehicles for speeding.

After contacting the drivers, he was returning to his patrol vehicle which was parked in front of the two suspect violators.   A fourth vehicle struck the two parked vehicles and also struck Constable Lagrange, throwing him 30 meters down the road.  Constable Lagrange was transported to a local hospital where he succumbed to his injuries the following day.  Constable Lagrange was 33 years and a 9-year departmental veteran.
