They say emergency services were notified of the accident on Highway 50 in Papineauville at around 3:15 a.m.
Police spokesperson Sgt. Stéphane Tremblay says a single vehicle carrying five people was travelling at high speed before losing control, swerving into the guardrails and rolling over.

The four other passengers, all in their 20s, suffered serious but not life-threatening injuries.
Police say alcohol consumption and speeding may have played a role in the crash.
