A man in his 30s has died after an early morning crash on Highway 50 near Montebello, Que., provincial police say.
The single-vehicle collision happened around 12:30 a.m. Saturday, according to the Sûreté du Québec.
The man lost control of his vehicle, striking a guardrail and then crashing into a concrete wall, police told Radio-Canada.
The stretch of Highway 50 between Gatineau and Montreal has been the scene of several fatal accidents over the years.
Multiple coroners' reports have called upon the province to make safety improvements, including one issued just a few weeks ago about a fatal Boxing Day collision last winter.
As of early Saturday afternoon, the highway was still closed between Montebello and Fassett for the police investigation.
Drivers were urged to take Highway 148 instead.
