The impact occurred around 3 p.m., while the pedestrian was walking on Boulevard de Lormière, near Avenue Chauveau.

She was taken to hospital, but she was pronounced dead within a few hours.
“The vehicle remained at the scene and the driver was encountered by the police. The scene was also analyzed by the Forensic Identification Unit,” indicates Sandra Dion, spokesperson for the SPVQ.
Everything suggests that the motorist was blinded by the sun and did not see the woman in front of her car.
A security perimeter was erected at the accident site to allow investigators to shed light on this sad affair.
