Longueuil police (SPAL) seized a suspect vehicle they say was involved in a hit-and-run that left a 25-year-old woman dead.
Clarissa St-Armand Dell was hit at the corner of Rome Blvd. and Lautrec St. Friday in Brossard, on Montreal's South Shore.
The driver then fled the scene towards Taschereau Blvd.
On Saturday, police located a black four-door Chevrolet Silverado in the Greenfield Park sector of Longueuil. The vehicle was seized for forensic testing.
St-Armand Dell was an auxiliary nurse at the Charles-Le Moyne Hospital.
CISSS de la Montérégie-Centre, which oversees the hospital, offered their condolences on Facebook Saturday.
"The loss of this colleague and friend leaves a huge void between us. At this time of grief, we would like to join in offering our deepest condolences to her family and loved ones, and all those she illuminated throughout her life," the post reads.
Police are asking any potential witnesses to the incident to come forward.
