MONTREAL — Two people have died after being trapped in a car that caught on fire late Sunday night west of Montreal.

The Surete du Quebec (SQ) says the car caught on fire upon impact and its two passengers remained trapped inside. Their deaths were confirmed on scene and their bodies have yet to be formally identified.
