A motorist was critically injured early Thursday morning in Dorval, on Montreal's West Island, when his vehicle struck a sidewalk before crashing into a concrete wall.
Montreal police (SPVM) say the 40-year-old man, who was alone in his car, was conscious when taken to hospital but that his injuries were life-threatening.
The crash occurred around 6 a.m. on Arthur-Fecteau Street, a few hundred meters from the grounds of the Pierre-Elliott-Trudeau International Airport, at the Cardinal Avenue intersection.
Police believe the driver was travelling at high speeds.
A security perimeter was set up early Thursday morning so SPVM investigators could determine the event's circumstances.
