Quebec coroner pushes for stronger penalties for dangerous drivers in wake of cyclist's death

By WNews 1 Min Read

Michel Filteau says he’s cried every day since his 36-year-old son was killed while riding his bike in Sherbrooke, Que.

Sébastien Filteau was struck by a vehicle driving upward of 130 km/h in a 70km/h zone on Oct. 15, 2021.

More than two years after his death, a coroner’s report is recommending stronger penalties to deter people from driving dangerously.

Coroner Dr. Jean Brochu said Filteau and another cyclist were at an intersection the day of the accident, sporting yellow bibs and lights, when a vehicle quickly sped past another car and “did not see the cyclists until the last second.”
