The French news here in Quebec reports with a bit more detail.
The approach to the ferry where the incident occurred has a very steep descent. Apparently the driver of the RV suffered a mechanical failure of some sort that prevented him from stopping. As he descended the approach, he was honking his horn and weaving through the pedestrians trying to avoid a catastrophe. He eventually went off the ramp with 2/3rds of the coach landing on the ferry, and the remaining 1/3 resting in the water.
They make no mention of the brand/model of RV, but they do say the occupants were from Laval Quebec, which is considered part of Montreal Quebec.
There are 3 photos of the crash, and from the roof shape, vent placement, and windshield pillars, I’d have to say it was not a TZE.

They wouldn't have been driving down the ramp if the ferry had not been
there. Guess it a case of chicken or the egg. All speculation at this point.
