A 22-year-old driver is in critical condition after being ejected from his car after it skidded out of control on Highway 15 South in Ste. Adele at about 4 a.m. Sunday.

An emergency crew employed the Jaws of Life device to extricate a 20-year-old passenger from the same vehicle. That passenger suffered minor injuries.

Police did not offer a possible cause for the crash and are not ruling out speed, fatigue or alcohol.
