Quebec provincial police say they’ve found a body after a 61-year-old man went missing Wednesday when a road collapsed in the Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean region north of Quebec City.
Police had been looking for the man after two vehicles were washed away when a gravel road was overrun by water from an overflowing stream due to heavy rains.

Police resumed searching Thursday and say they found a body nearly four kilometres from where the section of road was washed out.
Sgt. Hugues Beaulieu says a formal identification process will take place and the coroner will likely investigate.
The driver of the second vehicle managed to make it to safety and was treated for minor injuries.
