According to the Sûreté du Québec (SQ), the death of a 34-year-old man was noted on site. His identity is still unknown.
Around 6:50 a.m., a head-on collision occurred between a SUV and a van at kilometer 1004. The accident did not cause any other injuries.
Hugues Beaulieu, spokesperson for the SQindicates that driving poorly adapted to road conditions would probably be the cause.
