The collision happened around 5:30 p.m. at the intersection of 25th Avenue and Perrot Boulevard.

Police said the SUV, travelling east on Boulevard Perrot, struck the man as he crossed, throwing him several metres. Police said the driver didn’t stop and kept heading south along 25th Avenue.

Luckily, the pedestrian wasn’t seriously injured.

According to provincial police spokesperson Sgt. Daniel Thibodeau, the driver could possibly face two charges.

“A person’s responsibility, if you do hit something or someone, is to stop and give assistance to the person that’s injured and make sure they are OK,” he explained. “Secondly, it is to report it to the authorities. “In this case, neither one was done.”
