A child is dead following a collision on Friday between two vehicles in James Bay, in northern Quebec, over 1,000 km north of Montreal.
Quebec provincial police said they received a call at 12:35 p.m. about the crash.
Police said five people were involved, four were taken to a hospital with injuries that were not considered life-threatening.
Police said the minor was already deceased when officers arrived at the scene.
The Cree Nation of Waskaganish offered condolences on social media, noting the child was a member of their community and urging emotional support for those affected.
The chief and council say the child was heading to a hockey tournament.
