Four people have died after a helicopter crashed in a small town approximately 50 kilometers (31 miles) from Montreal, Quebec's provincial police said, according to a report from Mehr News.
Details on the circumstances of the crash, including the type of helicopter involved, the purpose of the flight, and the identities of those on board, were not immediately available.
Investigation expected
Provincial police in Quebec typically lead the initial response to aviation accidents of this kind, working alongside Canadian federal transportation safety investigators, who are usually tasked with determining the cause of such crashes.
Helicopter crashes involving multiple fatalities are relatively rare but tend to prompt formal safety investigations examining factors such as mechanical failure, weather conditions, and pilot actions.
No further information on the cause of the crash, the number of people originally on board relative to the reported fatalities, or any survivors had been released at the time of this report.
Authorities in Quebec are expected to provide additional details as the investigation into the crash proceeds.
