(Val-Brillant) A head-on collision between two vehicles injured five people, including three children who are in critical condition, Sunday afternoon, in Val-Brillant, in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region.


The accident occurred around 2:30 p.m. on Route 132 near rue des Cèdres.

The head-to-head collision involves a sedan with two children and a driver, and a minivan with a child and an adult on board.
