Preliminary information suggests the driver fled and the passenger remained in the vehicle.
Police spokesperson Mélanie Mercille says the driver later returned to the site and was arrested for impaired driving and leaving the scene.
Both the driver and passenger were injured, but their lives are not considered to be in danger.
Police were asking the public this morning to avoid the area around Guimond Boulevard and de la Métropole Street because of road closures tied to the investigation.
