Montreal police are investigating after a single-vehicle collision in the city’s Lachine borough on Tuesday.
Montreal police spokesperson Véronique Dubuc said it happened at around 11:45 a.m. near 1ière Avenue on Montreal-Toronto Boulevard — the service road to Highway 20.
Dubuc explained that the vehicle was heading west when, “for an unknown reason,” it hit a low-lying concrete barrier on Montreal-Toronto Boulevard before ending up on the side of the service road.
The driver, a 51-year-old man, was rushed to hospital to be treated for “severe” injuries.
Montreal police confirmed the man’s death in hospital late Friday afternoon.
Westbound lanes on Montreal-Toronto Boulevard were closed to traffic starting at Georges-Leclerc Avenue.
Dubuc said the road closure resulted in heavy traffic in the area.
The street has since been reopened to vehicles but the investigation is ongoing.
