Three individuals lost their lives in separate traffic accidents in Quebec overnight. The first incident occurred around 12:30 a.m. when a vehicle veered off Route 132 East near Chemin Mistral in Saint-Michel-de-Bellechasse. The driver, a 35-year-old man who was alone in the vehicle, tragically died at the scene due to losing control of the vehicle. The road was temporarily closed but reopened at approximately 4:45 a.m.
Later, at about 3:20 a.m., emergency services responded to a single-vehicle crash on Route 138 near Franquelin. The vehicle, carrying four individuals, lost control for unknown reasons, resulting in one fatality and the other three occupants being in critical condition. Two lanes in the vicinity of the accident were closed following the incident.
A third car accident was reported around 6 a.m. on Route 138 in Saint-Tite-des-Caps. As the vehicle was traveling eastbound, the driver apparently veered out of their lane, causing the car to roll multiple times. A man and a woman in their 30s were inside the vehicle, both sustaining serious injuries. Unfortunately, the 37-year-old woman succumbed to her injuries at the hospital, while the man remains in critical condition.
Emergency services and authorities are investigating the circumstances surrounding these tragic incidents.
