Three teenagers have died after a head-on collision in St. Hyacinthe Tuesday afternoon.

The 16 and 19 year old men were passengers in a vehicle that crashed into an oncoming van on Route 235 at about 4:45 p.m. The 17-year-old driver was taken to hospital with serious injuries, but passed away early Wednesday morning.

The driver of the van suffered minor injuries.

The Surete du Quebec said the road surface was icy and visibility was poor, and the inexperience of the driver may have been a factor.
