Quebec Provincial Police said two men are in critical condition after their small plane crashed into two houses south of Montreal early Friday evening.

The Sûreté du Québec (SQ) said they received a call around 7:30 p.m. about a small plane crashing in a residential area in Saint-Rémi, in the Montérégie region of Quebec.

The SQ spokesperson, Catherine Bernard, also said the plane crashed for a reason that is still unclear, near the corner of Église Street and Rang Sainte-Thérèse. She added that the plane crashed into one of the houses, then hit some power lines before crashing into a second house.

The two men who were inside the plane were in their thirties and were taken to the hospital in critical condition.

There were no reports of other injuries.

The plane crash also caused damage to a white car that was in the driveway.

The police were still at the scene early Friday evening investigating the incident, with Bernard saying that the Federal Transportation Safety Board had been notified.
