Montreal police confirmed that a male cyclist who was injured during a hit-and-run collision Monday afternoon died of his injuries.
Several 911 calls reporting a collision between a truck and a cyclist at the intersection of Parc and Mont-Royal avenues in the Plateau-Mont-Royal borough were made at around 3:30 p.m.
Montreal police spokesperson Manuel Couture said the driver of the truck left the scene of the crash. A 25-year-old man was arrested a short time later in nearby Outremont.
Witnesses told police both the truck and cyclist were heading south on Parc when the truck driver attempted to make a right-hand turn onto Mont-Royal.
The cyclist, a 31-year-old man, was rushed to hospital in critical condition, after first responders performed CPR at the scene. He was later pronounced dead in hospital.
Parc Avenue was closed between Mont-Royal Avenue and Chemin de la Côte-Sainte-Catherine as collision experts investigated.
