Montreal police are searching for a driver who they say fled the scene of what appears to be a hit-and-run collision in the city’s north end.
The 911 call came in around 5:50 p.m. Tuesday reporting a collision between a vehicle and a woman in Montreal North. Police say it happened on Pie-IX Boulevard near the intersection of Henri-Bourassa Boulevard.
When officers arrived at the scene, they found the victim — a 45-year-old woman with injuries to her upper body. She was rushed to hospital and was conscious during her transport, according to police.
In an update Wednesday morning, police spokesperson Jeanne Drouin said the victim was in critical but stable condition.
Investigators spoke to a driver who remained at the scene, but they are looking for a second driver who they say fled after the collision. They did not provide any information about their identity or about the vehicle.
Drouin said anyone with information about the collision is asked to call 911 or report to their local police station.
A safety perimeter was set up at the scene and collision experts as well as investigators were on site until late Tuesday.
The investigation is ongoing.
