A driver in his 60s died in a collision on Sunday in Sainte-Julienne, in the Lanaudière region.
Police are investigating the possibility that he may have suffered a medical emergency.
Sûreté du Québec (SQ) police officers from the Montcalm MRC were called to Route 337 at around 2 p.m. in connection with a collision involving two vehicles.
“The driver of the vehicle travelling southbound reportedly lost control and ended up in the other lane. At that moment, there was an impact with a pickup truck travelling in the opposite direction,” explained Camille Savoie, spokesperson for the SQ.
