SAGUENAY, Que. – Three people were killed and three others were injured in a two-vehicle crash Thursday evening in Quebec’s Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean region.
Quebec provincial police say the collision between a compact car and a truck occurred about 6 p.m. on Highway 172, near Ste-Rose-du-Nord, Que., about 185 kilometres northeast of Quebec City.
Police say they no longer fear for the lives of the three injured.
Authorities say their initial investigation suggests the head-on collision may have been provoked by a driver attempting to pass another car on the highway.
The 28-year-old driver of the compact and his 26-year-old female passenger, who were both from the region, died in the crash, as did a 73-year-old passenger in the truck who was believed to be from Newfoundland and Labrador.
Investigators and collision-reconstruction specialists were called to shed light on the circumstances surrounding the fatal crash.
