A 21 year-old from L’Île du Grand Calumet is currently in critical condition after suffering life-threatening injuries in a fatal single-vehicle accident in Chelsea on March 20.

The accident took place at roughly 10 p.m. near 195 chemin de la Montagne.

A 22 year-old Gatineau man, Aramis Vigeant, who was driving the car, died in the accident while a third passenger, also a man in his 20s from Gatineau, was ejected from the vehicle and suffered minor injuries.
