A 79-year-old woman is in critical condition after being struck by an SUV in Montreal’s Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension borough on Thursday morning.
The accident occurred on Papineau Ave., very close to the intersection with Tillemont Street.
“The woman, who was attempting to cross, was reportedly struck by an SUV and thrown to the ground. She was unconscious when she was rushed to a hospital. Resuscitation efforts were also performed during her transport,” said Montreal Police Service (SPVM) spokesperson Raphaël Bergeron.
Collision investigators were dispatched to the scene to try to shed light on the exact causes and circumstances of this event, since “for now, it is difficult to confirm exactly what happened,” according to Bergeron.
