A 22-year-old Canadian man has died after riding on a couch tied to a van and towed down a road at high speed.
Authorities said a group of friends placed the couch on a sled before hooking it up to the back of a truck and trying to drag it down a rural road in St Benjamin, south of Quebec City, late on Saturday night.
The man, who has not been identified, was riding on the couch with two other young men when the 21-year-old driver lost control of the van, a police spokeswoman said, according to CBC News Montreal.
The sled slid across the road into an incoming car, which collided with the couch, killing the 22-year-old.
The other two men were not hurt.
Police said the van driver fled the scene and was later charged with dangerous driving and fleeing the scene of an accident.
