The Major Crimes Unit of the Sureté du Quebec is attempting to identify and locate a large truck involved in a deadly hit and run that killed a tourist from Mexico.
The hit-and-run occurred in Brossard on Highway 30 around 1 a.m. with the SQ reporting that a tractor-trailer heading east hit a small car from behind.
The impact knocked the smaller car off the road around the 67 KM highway marker.
The car hit a lamppost, killing a 21-year-old man who was in the backseat, and critically injuring the three other people in the vehicle, although they are expected to survive their injuries.
Police have not yet infomed the family of the deceased.
Highway 30 was temporarily closed between Boulevard Matte and Highway 10, but has since reopened to traffic.
The truck did not stop after the impact.
The SQ released the following description in hopes someone will contact them and positively identify the vehicle.
- The truck and its rig were both white.
- The truck does not appear to have an inscription or graphic on its body.
- There were reflectors on the back trailer.
- Police believe the truck is similar in model to a Volvo.
Anyone with information or a sighting is urged to contact the SQ's information centre at 1-800-659-4264.
