Police spokesperson Sgt. Eve Brochu-Joubert says it looks like the off-road vehicle deviated from its lane and collided with the truck, which was approaching from the opposite direction.
Brochu-Joubert says the boy suffered significant injuries and was later pronounced dead in hospital.
The two occupants of the pickup truck were not physically injured.
Police are investigating the circumstances of the crash.
