It's about 50 miles north of here, in the Moisie canyon, at the junction of the Moisie and Nipissis rivers. A local company, nobody is saying too much, just that there were 4 SOB.

Explanations

The crash reportedly occurred in a wooded area, difficult of access, about ten miles from the confluence of rivers and Moisie Nipissis, a hundred kilometers north of Sept-Iles.

In LCN, Patrick Lowe, spokesman for the Surete du Quebec, said the bodies were repatriated to the Sept-Iles, where they will be transported to the hospital to confirm their deaths. "We talk to four deaths allegedly at the moment," said Patrick Lowe. "It is too early to determine the causes of the accident," he added.

According to a statement issued by the Bureau of Transportation Safety, the accident occurred around noon.

It was workers who went on a site accessible only by air.
