4 dead in car crash north of Ottawa

Four people are dead after a head-on collision on Highway 117 in the La Vérendrye Wildlife Reserve, between the Outaouais and Abitibi-Témiscamingue regions.

The park is located about 350 kilometres northwest of Montreal.

Police think the driver of a southbound car veered into the oncoming lane before crashing into a pickup truck.

The driver of the truck was taken to hospital. Authorities expect him to recover.
