Three people have died, including a young child, after a collision between two personal watercraft on the Nicolet River Saturday afternoon. A 34-year-old man, a 32-year-old woman and a four-year-old boy were all aboard the same watercraft, said Valérie Beauchamp, a spokesperson for the Sûreté du Québec (SQ). The man suffered serious injuries but is expected to recover, while the girl's injuries are considered minor. The accident happened around 3 p.m. on the Nicolet River, not far from where it joins the St. Lawrence River. Beauchamp said alcohol was not a factor in the crash and everyone on board the watercraft were wearing lifejackets.
