Deadly crash

A Cap-Pelé man has died in hospital after a crash late Sunday night.

First responders were sent to Bas-Cap-Pelé Road just before midnight where a car had gone off the road and smashed into a culvert.

The 31 year old man who was driving died in hospital the next day. Two passengers, a 19 year old man and an 18 year old woman, were also taken to hospital.

The preliminary investigation indicates speed and alcohol are possible factors.
