Near midday on Saturday, November 5, a 39-year-old parachutist had a fatal accident near the Victoriaville airport road. The man struck a post during his descent, according to a Sûreté du Québec (SQ) spokesperson.

He was quickly transported to a hospital, where his death was confirmed. Investigators were sent to the scene to determine exactly what happened, and their investigation is ongoing, the SQ spokesperson said.
