Three teenagers are dead after a single-vehicle crash in Quebec’s Montérégie region Sunday evening.

Provincial police say the 19-year-old driver of the vehicle and two 18-year-old passengers were killed.

Police say a fourth 16-year-old passenger was taken to hospital, and that her life is no longer in danger.

The crash occurred shortly after 7 p.m. in Saint-Robert, around 100 kilometres northeast of Montreal.

Police say the driver lost control on a curve and that the car rolled several times before leaving the roadway.

Police say high speed may have played a role in the crash, but that the investigation is ongoing.
