Two women remain in critical condition Thursday morning after they were hit by a vehicle Wednesday in a commercial parking lot in front of a Tigre Geant store in Montreal North.
Montreal police received a 911 call at around 5 p.m. and responded to the intersection of Léger and Langelier boulevards.
Upon arrival, they found the two women, aged 60 and 80, with life-threatening injuries.
On Thursday morning, police said they believe the crash occurred after a taxi carrying passengers began to move and instead of hitting the brake to stop the vehicle, the cab driver accidentally hit the gas pedal.
Collision reconstruction investigators were called to examine the scene.
The investigation is ongoing.
