Suspect and witnesses sought by Montreal police: child injured in LaSalle hit-and-run

Montreal police (SPVM) are asking the public for help to identify a suspect and locate witnesses in connection to a LaSalle hit-and-run that injured a child last month.

It happened on April 28, at around 3 p.m., near the intersection of Réjane and Dollard Ave.

A minor was involved in the collision and she sustained “significant injuries,” according to a press release by SPVM. “She was reportedly struck by a dark grey Mazda CX-3, which left the scene before police arrived.”

The SPVM is trying to identify the passenger(s) of a white Honda Civic that was driving near the event, as well as the owner of a black Tesla parked on Réjane, near Marie-Claire Street.

The driver of the vehicle involved in the hit-and-run is believed to be man between the ages of 20 and 35, about 1.70 m tall or 5 feet 6 inches, with short, curly hair. He was driving a dark grey Mazda CX-3.

The SPVM is releasing surveillance camera images that they say, “may help identify the driver, as well as the occupants and owners of two vehicles that may have witnessed the collision.”

Anyone with information that could help investigators in this case is asked to call 911 or their local police station. You can also contact Info-Crime Montréal anonymously and confidentially at 514-393-1133 or online.
