A pedestrian died after being struck by a motorist in Laval's Chomedey district on Monday evening.

"The accident occurred around 9:20 p.m. on Cléroux Boulevard, at the intersection with John-Molson Street," said Laval police spokesperson Stéphanie Beshara.

A 21-year-old woman was driving westbound on Cléroux Boulevard, in an industrial area, when she struck the pedestrian, a 48-year-old man who was crossing the street in an unknown direction.

The man was transported to hospital, where he was pronounced dead later that evening.

According to Beshara, there was no evidence of impaired driving or distraction.
