QUESTION OF THE WEEK

  • Forest fires are a fact of life in Northern Manitoba, although the number and severity vary year to year. How prepared do you feel you are to evacuate quickly if the need arose under a disaster management plan scenario?
  • Poorly prepared. I’d be running around like a chicken with its head cut off. I know better but I’m complacent
  • 87%

Four people killed in truck-car collision in Quebec

May 7, 2012 | CP story

GATINEAU, Que. - Four people were killed in a head-on collision on a highway running through La Verendrye park on Monday.

Quebec provincial police said three adults and a child were killed when the car they were travelling in was struck by a pickup truck that swerved into their lane.

A fifth occupant of the car, a toddler, was transported to hospital in Mont-Laurier but his injuries are not considered life-threatening.

The two occupants of the truck were also injured and taken to hospital.

The collision happened near Lac Larouche, 160 kilometers north of Mont-Laurier.

The highway where the accident happened is the main link between the Laurentians and the Abitibi-Temiscamingue region.
