Three people were injured more or less seriously in a collision that occurred early Tuesday evening on Route 131 in Saint-Félix-de-Valois.
Shortly before 6 p.m., a 48-year-old motorist lost control of her vehicle and found herself in the opposite direction on the road, causing a violent frontal collision, summarized Nicolas Scholtus, spokesperson for the Sûreté du Québec (SQ ).

The driver was slightly injured, but was nevertheless taken to hospital. She refused to provide a breath sample to check her blood alcohol level, the spokesperson said.
In the second vehicle, a man and a woman, both 66 years old, suffered injuries and were also transported to a hospital. One of the people had been discharged in the evening, but the second remained under observation.

Highway 131 was closed to traffic in the wake of the accident, the time to let the investigators specialized in the scene of collision do their job.
