“It’s likely the driver never saw the pedestrian,” Boudreault said.
Police wouldn’t confirm the victim’s health status.
The driver of the truck, a man in his 50s, was taken to hospital to be treated for shock.
Boudreault said the driver was not a city employee, explaining Laval hires subcontractors for snow removal.
