Partner of woman killed by truck expresses inability to articulate emotions

A tragic incident in Pointe-aux-Trembles has left a family shattered after a 37-year-old mother of three, Faye Moisan-Piquette, was struck and killed by a truck. The heartbreaking story unfolds as her partner, Matthew Doré, recounts the events leading up to the devastating accident.

Moisan-Piquette, a petite but resilient woman, was on her way to a long-awaited therapy appointment for her hips, which she had been waiting five years for. Despite her legs causing her immense pain that day, Doré convinced her to go, knowing how important the therapy was for her.

Tragically, Moisan-Piquette was struck at an intersection while arriving early for her appointment, possibly to have a cigarette beforehand. Doré, who was anxiously waiting for her return, eventually discovered the heartbreaking news of her passing.

The grief-stricken partner described the harrowing moments of realizing his wife was involved in the accident, the panic of not finding her at the daycare, and the heart-wrenching task of informing their children and Moisan-Piquette’s teenage daughter.

The driver of the truck, Bruno Lachance, has been charged with criminal negligence causing death and operating a motor vehicle while causing death. Despite the legal proceedings, the family is left to grapple with the immense loss and financial burden.

A fundraiser has been set up to support Moisan-Piquette’s family during this difficult time, with the goal of easing the financial strain and providing assistance to her children. The community has already shown support, with over $2,000 raised towards the $25,000 goal.

As the family mourns the loss of a beloved partner and mother, the tragic incident serves as a stark reminder of the fragility of life and the devastating impact of a moment’s carelessness on a family’s future.
