Three pedestrians injured after being struck by Montreal taxi
MONTREAL – One of three pedestrians who were struck by a taxi in downtown Montreal remained in hospital in critical condition on Tuesday, police said.
Montreal police spokesman Manuel Couture said the man is 45.
A 25-year-old woman was also taken to hospital, but her injuries were not considered life-threatening.
A 16-year-old girl was hospitalized with minor leg injuries, while a fourth person, a passenger in the taxi, was treated for shock.
Authorities said earlier that four people had been hit and that the 16-year-old was 26.
Police also said initial reports suggest the cab driver had a green light.
The accident occurred just after 3 a.m. Tuesday as the taxi was heading westbound along Rene Levesque Boulevard.
Note to readers: This is a corrected version; a previous story said one of the women was 26
