Quebec teen dies in collapse of garage under construction
BEGIN, Que.
A 15-year-old Quebec boy was killed and three others injured when a garage under construction collapsed Wednesday morning in a small town in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region.
Quebec provincial police say the garage appears to have collapsed from the weight of the construction workers and a shipment of plywood that was being placed on the roof.
The teen was working for his uncle and was caught in the debris underneath the collapsed structure.
Police say the three others are in hospital with a wide-array of injuries, some of which are described as serious.
