Police are investigating a hit-and-run collision Friday evening in Montreal’s Ville-Marie borough.
Montreal police spokesperson Raphaël Bergeron said it happened at around 6 p.m. at the intersection of Berri Street and de Maisonneuve Boulevard.
Bergeron said it appears the driver had the right of way, with the vehicle heading northbound on Berri Street and having a green traffic light at the intersection.
The driver, however, failed to stop after hitting the pedestrian.
The victim, a man believed to be in his 40s, was taken to hospital.

Motorists were being asked to stay away from the area.
Berri was closed between Ste-Catherine and Ontario streets to allow for the investigation.
