(Quebec) A head-on collision between a car and a heavy goods vehicle left two dead on the indigenous territory of Pessamit, on the North Shore.
The collision occurred Friday, around 10:30 a.m., on Route 138 which runs along the St. Lawrence River, more precisely at kilometer 726.
“According to initial information, the vehicle, for a reason still unknown, deviated from its lane and found itself in collision with the heavy vehicle which was traveling in the opposite direction,” indicated Sergeant Nancy Fournier, spokesperson for the Sûreté du Québec (SQ).
The two victims, in their forties, were the driver and passenger of the car.
Police officers trained in collision investigation were dispatched to the scene to analyze the scene and try to determine the causes and circumstances of the collision.
Route 138 was closed to traffic in both directions for several hours at this location before reopening late in the afternoon.
