Teen girl in critical condition after being found unconscious outside in Montreal suburb
Girl may have been buried under a collapsed snow tunnel, police say
A 13-year-old girl is in critical condition after she was found unconscious in front of a home in Châteauguay, Que.
Local police were notified about the girl around 4 p.m. Tuesday, according to police spokesperson Nadia Grondin.
First responders attempted to resuscitate the girl before she was rushed to hospital. Châteauguay mayor Éric Allard says she was taken to Sainte-Justine Hospital.
Police believe the girl might have been buried by a collapsed snow tunnel and are investigating.
Allard says he issued a warning at city council Monday about children playing in or around snowbanks.
"Maybe when you pass by and pick up the snow or move the snow away, there might be kids there so we had to warn everybody to be careful," he told CBC's Daybreak Wednesday morning.
