A 16-year-old girl is dead and three other minors were injured in a street racing crash in western Quebec.

Police say two vehicles were racing Sunday afternoon on a rural road in Lochaber, Que., about 150 kilometres west of Montreal, when one of the drivers lost control and ended up in a ravine.

A 16-year-old female passenger died, and a young male passenger was taken to hospital in Ottawa in critical condition.

Police spokeswoman Beatrice Dorsainville says the driver and a third passenger are in stable condition.

She says blood samples will be taken from the driver to determine whether drugs or alcohol contributed to the crash.
