(Montreal) A collision between a pedestrian and a vehicle occurred Monday evening in the Ahuntsic-Cartierville sector, in Montreal. An 83-year-old woman was seriously injured.
The accident occurred around 8 p.m. at the corner of Avenue Papineau and Boulevard Henri-Bourrassa.
According to information from the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM), following the impact with the car, the lady was transported to a hospital center while she was unconscious.
