The 24-year-old male driver of the pickup truck called the police and attempted to assist the victim before emergency services arrived.
“That stretch of highway is a 90 km per hour zone,” said Châteauguay police spokesperson Nathalie Langevin.
“It’s also a poorly lit area. Factored in with the falling snow, there is not much the driver could have done to avoid the pedestrian.”
The victim was transported to Anna-Laberge Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The driver was also transported to the hospital and treated for shock.
Highway 207 through Saint-Isidore was reopened to traffic after the crash-scene was freed from investigators around 10:30 a.m.
