The Quebec coroner has recommended that the penetration‑resistant fence at Du Quartier station in Brossard be re‑evaluated after two brothers were killed in collisions with a REM train.
The two young men were struck by a light‑rail train while on the tracks, prompting concerns about the fence’s ability to prevent track intrusions. The station’s fence is designed to deter such incidents.
The REM network serves the Greater Montreal region, and the coroner’s recommendation is part of the investigation into the fatalities.
