The tragedy occurred around 9:15 p.m. on Route 139 in Roxton Pond, about fifteen kilometers northeast of Granby.
The victim, an elderly man in his sixties, was pronounced dead at the hospital where he had been taken. He was a resident of Granby who was alone in his automobile.
The Sûreté du Québec (SQ) is studying the hypothesis that the unfortunate person lost control of his vehicle due to the weather conditions which were difficult at the time of the impact.
