A single-vehicle accident caused serious injuries to the three occupants early this Saturday morning in Sept-Îles. A passenger who was in the back is in critical condition.
Route 138 is closed near the airport (at Côte du Relais), with a detour onto Rue de la Rive in the Plages sector.
Sûreté du Québec police officers received the call at 5:15 a.m. for a road exit on the 138 east of Sept-Îles. The injured were transported to Sept-Îles Hospital.
The car left its lane to enter the ditch before hitting a culvert, describes SQ spokesperson Camille Savoie. She specifies that since impaired capacity may be a cause, the 16-year-old driver will have to take a blood test.
An SQ investigator is on site to study the scene and determine the exact causes of the accident.
