A 29-year-old man is in hospital after he was struck by a truck late Friday morning in downtown Montreal.
Montreal police say witnesses told them the man was on a skateboard heading southbound on a hill on Lucien-l’Allier Street when he ran a red light.
Manuel Couture, a spokesperson for the Montreal police, said the truck was heading east on St-Jacques Street when the two collided.
“The 29-year-old man on the skateboard was unable to stop,” Couture said.
Police said the man was unconscious when he was transported to hospital — but they say he is no longer in critical condition.
An investigation is underway.
