Article content

According to the Sûreté du Québec (SQ), a westbound vehicle was attempting to make a left turn toward a private driveway when it struck an eastbound motorcycle.

A 74-year-old man and a 72-year-old woman, both from Saint-Jérôme, were on the motorcycle and were seriously injured in the collision.

They were taken to a local hospital, where they were pronounced dead.

The two people in the car were not injured.

Police say it’s not yet clear why the vehicle that tried to make a left turn didn’t give way to the motorcycle, but the SQ suggests that the driver may have been blinded by the sun.

Collision experts are investigating the circumstances surrounding the crash.
