Man fatally struck while changing tire on highway near Montreal; police seeking driver
One man is dead north of Montreal after he was struck by a truck while changing a tire on Highway 15.
The incident happened at 5:15 a.m. Thursday on the northbound Gédéon-Ouimet Bridge, which links Laval to Boisbriand.
Quebec provincial police say the driver stopped in the right-hand lane to fix the flat.
"The driver came out to change a tire," said Elizabeth Marquis-Guy, a spokesperson with the Sûreté du Québec (SQ). "A pick-up truck hit him before leaving the scene."
The victim, a man in his 30s, was declared dead at the scene.
Officers are currently working to locate the driver that hit the victim.
The SQ released surveillance photos of a truck believed to be involved in the collision, and are asking anyone with information to come forward.
