Authorities were alerted by several 911 calls at around 4 a.m. in the city’s Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve borough near the corner of Ontario and Préfontaine.
Police spokesperson Véronique Dubuc said witnesses reported the woman was gripping onto the roof of the car for several metres before she fell and the driver left the scene. Investigators are not sure why the victim was on the car.
