A man who may have fallen from an overpass before being struck by a car was found dead late Thursday evening on Highway 730 in Saint-Constant, Montérégie.

Quebec provincial police said that the victim was pronounced dead at the scene at around 10:15 pm.

Police suspect that the driver left the scene after the impact, so officers from the Sûreté du Québec (SQ)'s Major Crime Investigation Division are asking for the public's help in locating them.

In addition, anyone who witnessed the collision on the eastbound span of Highway 730 is asked to contact the police.

The car that hit the victim is believed to be a Honda.
