An 83-year-old woman was seriously injured after being hit by a vehicle in the Ahuntsic-Cartierville borough of Montreal Monday night.

It happened around 8 p.m. at the corner of Papineau Avenue and Henri-Bourrassa Boulevard.

Montreal police say the woman was unconscious when she was taken to hospital, where she remains in critical condition.

The vehicle was heading westbound on Henri-Bourrassa Boulevard before hitting the woman who was crossing southbound, just before Papineau Avenue.

She was between two intersections where there is no crosswalk.

The driver told police he did not see the woman. He stopped at the scene and suffered a nervous shock.

The investigation is ongoing.
