The Sûreté du Québec (SQ) is investigating after a head-on collision Tuesday afternoon in Grenville-sur-la-Rouge, roughly 115 kilometres northwest of Montreal.
According to SQ spokesperson Valérie Beauchamp, the collision, which involved a semi-truck and a car, happened on Highway 50 at around 4 p.m.
“The truck was heading west and the car was going east,” Beauchamp said.
It appears the driver of the vehicle somehow veered into the oncoming traffic and was ejected from the car, according to police.
The driver of the vehicle suffered life-threatening injuries, while the truck driver escaped with minor injuries.
Beauchamp said the crash happened in a 100 km/h section of the highway and road conditions were dry at the time.
The cause of the crash is not yet known.
An investigator and reconstruction expert have been dispatched to the scene.
The investigation continues.
