MONTREAL – A man in his sixties has died after a car crash on Friday afternoon in the Centre-du-Québec region of the province.

Provincial police say two drivers collided on Highway 55 in Sainte-Eulalie at around 2:45pm on Friday, resulting in one of the vehicle’s catching fire.

Police spokesperson Elizabeth Marquis-Guy says the older driver deviated into the opposing lane, hitting the other vehicle head-on.
