A 29-year-old woman is in critical condition after she was struck by a car in Montreal’s Rosemont borough Saturday night.
The incident happened on St-Zotique Street near 16th Avenue at around 8:45 p.m.
Police initially thought the pedestrian was the victim of a hit-and-run but revised their hypothesis after interviewing witnesses.
Instead it appears the woman tried to grab hold of a vehicle as it drove off and was struck by a second vehicle coming up behind it.
