On a fateful day in 2011, a bizzarre accident occurred on a rural Quebec highway near the town of Luskville, which resulted in the death of two individuals.

The accident involved a black bear weighing approximately 200 kilograms. The bear was initially hit by a Pontiac Sunfire traveling east on Highway 148. The impact of the collision launched the bear into the air. It then crashed into a black SUV traveling in the opposite direction. The bear smashed through the SUV’s front windshield and exited out the back window.

The driver of the SUV, the 25-year-old woman, and Steven Leon, who was seated behind her, were pronounced dead at the scene. The woman’s 28-year-old boyfriend, who was sitting in the front of the SUV, suffered minor injuries and was taken to Hull Hospital. The two male occupants of the Pontiac Sunfire were not hurt. The bear also died as a result of the collisions.
