A 70-year-old man died Saturday afternoon after being struck by a car in Dollard-des-Ormeaux.

Montreal police (SPVM) received several 911 calls just after 3:15 p.m. from witnesses at the intersection of Kingsley and Davignon reporting that an elderly man had been hit by a car. Responding officers found the victim unconscious at the scene. According to investigators, a 53-year-old driver reportedly lost control of his vehicle and hit the man, who was walking along the side of the roadway.

The victim was transported to hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries, SPVM spokesperson Caroline Chevrefils confirmed to The Suburban.

Investigators from the SPVM’s collision unit completed their initial investigation at the scene by Saturday evening. The circumstances that led to the crash are still under investigation, and police have not confirmed whether alcohol played a role.

This incident brings the total number of collisions involving pedestrians in the Greater Montreal Area to eleven so far in 2025, seven of which have been fatal. n
