Shortly before 2:30 a.m., a car went off Highway 117 and struck a power pole, according to Corporal Mario Maillet of the Southeast District RCMP.

Two men, a 35-year-old from Pointe-Sapin who was driving the car, and a 35-year-old passenger from Bay du Vin, were killed instantly. They were the only ones in the vehicle, Maillet said.
