A two-year-old boy is dead after a crash in Ormstown, in the Monteregie.

The incident happened at 1 p.m. on Tuesday, when a woman in her 60s lost control of her car on Highway 138, hitting a culvert and landing in a ditch.

Riding in the car with the woman were two of her grandchildren, aged four and two, and all three of them were taken to hospital.

The four-year-old suffered minor injuries.

The two-year-old was initially in critical condition, but police later confirmed he died.

So far, the Sureté du Quebec has ruled out alcohol as a possible factor and say it’s unclear why the crash occurred.
