Quebec provincial police spokesperson Camille Savoie says the men were transported to hospital where they were pronounced dead.

The victims, one 50 and the other 66, were not travelling together, she says.

Savoie says first responders reached the crash scene by snowmobile because the area was not accessible by car.

Police say the investigation is ongoing.
