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.
The victim was rushed to hospital in critical condition.
Police spokesperson Jean-Pierre Brabant told Global News the woman had undergone surgery Sunday morning but was still listed as critical.
No criminal charges are expected to be filed in this case.
