One man is dead after a driver struck a pedestrian on a sidewalk.

The collision happened at 11:20 a.m. Monday on L. O. David St. between Papineau Ave. and Cartier Ave.

The pedestrian, who police said was a man in his seventies, was rushed to hospital where he died of his injuries.

It appears the driver was attempting to parallel park when they backed up onto the sidewalk and struck the pedestrian in front of an apartment building.

Police said they do not expect the Crown will lay any charges.
