KIAMIKA, QUE. -- A man is in critical condition after crashing his ATV on Sunday in Kiamika, in the Laurentians, about two hours north of Ottawa.

The victim left his residence alone, early in the morning, and was expected to return during the day, the SQ reported.
When he did not come back at the end of the afternoon, his relatives became worried and a friend of the family went to look for him. The friend found the man lying under his ATV.
