Jean said the driver involved in the crash — a 38-year-old man — remained on site and collaborated with the investigation.
“Speed and alcohol were not factors in the crash,” Jean said, adding investigators believe the death was accidental.
“The pedestrian was walking quickly,” Jean said, but he crossed between two vehicles — not at an intersection.
Jean described the area as residential and explained that intersections on the boulevard were quite spaced out.
