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.
