9 die in accidents during Quebec’s St-Jean-Baptiste holiday weekend

MONTREAL – Nine people have died in accidents during Quebec’s long weekend, marking St-Jean-Baptiste day.

Seven of the accidents took place on the province’s roads, while one person died in a helicopter crash and another on an ATV.

The most recent accident took place early this morning on a highway on Montreal’s West Island.

Police say alcohol may have contributed to the crash that killed a 21-year-old man.

During the holiday weekend last year, five people died in accidents on Quebec provincial roads.
