A 15-year-old teenager lost his life after an accident that occurred very early Saturday in Frampton, in Chaudière-Appalaches.
MRC Nouvelle-Beauce police officers were called around 2:45 a.m. on Route 112, at the 2nd Rang intersection, about a vehicle leaving the road with three people on board, reports the Sûreté of Quebec (SQ).
The provincial police explain that the driver probably tried to avoid another vehicle, which would have caused him to leave the road.
-The driver and a passenger were slightly injured. The 17-year-old driver is in hospital with minor injuries. He was placed under arrest and could face one count of dangerous driving causing death. The third occupant, a 15-year-old teenager, was ejected and was pronounced dead at the scene.
The SQ specifies that Route 112 reopened around 10:30 a.m.
