Two out of the three lanes in the vicinity were closed following the incident.
The third crash was reported around 6 a.m. on Route 138 in Saint-Tite-des-Caps. As the car was heading eastbound, it veered out of its lane, causing it to roll multiple times. A man and a woman in their thirties were inside the vehicle. Unfortunately, the 37-year-old woman succumbed to her injuries at the hospital, while the man remains in critical condition. The reasons behind this incident are still under investigation.
