A man in his 40s and a 10-year-old child are dead after a collision with a cube truck in Lac-Saguay, in Quebec's Laurentians region, on Sunday.
The Sûreté du Québec (SQ) says emergency services were called to the scene at 5 p.m. on Route 117 near du Lac Road.
The SQ says it has reason to believe the driver lost control of the vehicle, possibly due to hydroplaning, before colliding with a truck travelling in the opposite direction.
When emergency services arrived, the man and child were taken to hospital, where they were declared dead.
The driver of the cube truck suffered minor injuries.
The investigation is ongoing to determine the causes and circumstances of the collision.
