A drunken evening during which three men in their thirties hit the road on motocross, without helmets, took a dramatic turn for one of them in Saguenay Lac-Saint-Jean.
The police received a call around 11:30 p.m. Friday to go to the scene of the accident, which had just occurred on Wilfrid-Bédard road in the municipality of Larouche.
When they arrived, they saw a man lying lifeless on the road.
The man was rushed to the hospital, where his life was considered to be in jeopardy.
The two people who were with him were detained for driving under the influence of alcohol.
