On Saturday evening in Rigaud, a hit-and-run collision sent two cyclists to hospital and left a family pleading for community help in finding the driver responsible.

The crash occurred shortly before 5 p.m. on Chemin du Haut-de-la-Chute, near Chemin St-Thomas. According to Quebec provincial police (SQ), the suspect vehicle is described as a black GMC Terrain with noticeable damage to the front. Police say the driver struck the two cyclists and fled the scene without offering assistance.

A family member of the victims turned to social media, sharing that both parents were out riding together when they were hit. “First and foremost, they are alive—my mom has been discharged from the hospital and my dad is in very serious condition but he’s expected to live,” their son wrote in a widely shared post. He urged anyone with information to come forward, emphasizing that even the smallest detail could help.

The SQ is asking anyone who may have witnessed the incident, or who may have seen a black GMC Terrain with front-end damage in the area, to contact their criminal information center at 1-800-659-4264.

Residents of Hudson, Rigaud, and St-Lazare are being encouraged to share the family’s message and help spread the word. As investigators work to piece together what happened, the family and local authorities hope someone will come forward with the information needed to bring answers—and accountability.

Anyone with information is asked to call the SQ tip line at 1-800-659-4264.
