Trial begins for Quebec man who allegedly stole car, leading to police chase and 2 injuries [Video]

A 21-year-old man is accused of stealing a car and fleeing from police, leading to a pursuit that changed two senior’s lives forever when they were hit.

Farvensky Domingue allegedly stole a Toyota Highlander in the early hours of the morning on July 17, 2023. The aftermath left two men in their 60s with serious injuries.

“We’re talking about retirement plans dashed and lives changed forever,” said prosecutor Stephanie Tellier at the opening of Domingue’s trial on Monday. 

She added one had to have a major operation. The other is in rehabilitation for back pain.

Dominique was in court handcuffed behind plexiglass. He has pleaded not guilty on charges of vehicle theft, dangerous driving and obstruction.

Dominque and two others allegedly parked the stolen car at World Gym in Rosemere then got into a white Audi.

A witness told the court she saw men acting suspiciously and called the police.
