Double collision: A 70-year-old man dies after losing control of his vehicle

A 70-year-old died after losing control of his vehicle and hitting a car and a pedestrian in the Verdun neighborhood of Montreal on Sunday.

It was around 10:30 a.m. when the accident happened at the intersection of Bannantyne and Brown streets, the Service de Police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM) said.

According to police witnesses, one vehicle struck a second vehicle that was at the intersection.

The first car would then have forked before hitting a 33-year-old pedestrian. The latter was transported to hospital for treatment of an injury that would not be life-threatening.

The driver of the first car, a 76-year-old man, was also taken to hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

“According to initial information, he was not well before the accident,” said SPVM spokesman Jean-Pierre Brabant. The second driver, a 44-year-old man, was unharmed.

Investigators went to the crime scene to understand the circumstances of this double collision.
