A man in his 30s died of his injuries after a collision between two off-road vehicles (ATVs) on Saturday evening in Saint-Jédaun-des-Bose, in the Chaudière-Appalache region of Quebec.
It was the second ATV-related death in as many days after a man was killed in Saint-Raymond.
The man was first taken to the hospital and his condition is described as critical.
On Sunday afternoon, the Sûreté du Québec (SQ) confirmed his death.
Emergency services arrived at the scene of the collision on Saturday around 5:30 p.m.
The impact apparently occurred when one of the ATVs traveling on Route 6e collided with another from behind while slowing down, explained SQ spokesmen Camille Savoy and Adam Marinau.
The driver of the injured vehicle was ejected from his vehicle. The other driver was not injured in the incident.
A police officer trained in collision investigation went to the scene to try to find out the factors and circumstances of the incident.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published in French on April 21, 2024.
