Quebec provincial police say a 13-year-old boy has died after his off-road vehicle crashed into a pickup truck on Christmas Eve.
Police say the incident occurred at around 5:45 p.m., when emergency services responded to a collision in a rural area of Coaticook, Que., roughly 140 kilometres southeast of Montreal.
Police spokesperson Sgt. Eve Brochu-Joubert says it looks like the off-road vehicle deviated from its lane and collided with the truck, which was approaching from the opposite direction.
