Two men were seriously injured in the crash of an aircraft in Saint-Rémi, Montérégie, Friday evening. In its fall, the small plane struck two residences, electrical wires and a vehicle.
The accident occurred around 7:30 p.m. Friday in the area of rue de l’Eglise, in Montérégie.
According to preliminary information from the Sûreté du Québec, a small aircraft crashed, first hitting a first residence. He would have continued on his way in electric wires before hitting a parked vehicle, then a second residence.
On board were two men in their thirties. They were seriously injured in the crash and transported between life and death to hospital.
