Two hit by car on pedestrian street
Two young women were hit by a car (but see below in my comment) in a hit-and-run incident Saturday on Ste‑Catherine Street at Crescent. Yes, the street is pedestrianized. Evidently neither this nor the fact that he had just mowed two people down was enough to stop this driver.
Update: As indicated in comments, a suspect has been arrested.

I saw the aftermath of that this aft. Fucktard heading east on Ste-Cat got blocked by the concrete blocks at Peel, and decided to go around them on the north sidewalk forcing pedestrians out of his way. Then he headed south on Mansfield. About a half-dozen police cadets witnessed this so I’m hoping one of them had the presence of mind to jot down this asshole’s license plate.

This site even shows the vehicle and the plate! More details: “A temporary terrace […] was completely destroyed. A spokesman for Urgences-Sante […] said debris caused the injuries. ‘They were not hit by the car but by the debris from the tables and chairs.’ The destruction is almost a full city block in length.”

Glad to read that the two ladies were only minorly damaged, thanks.
The CEEB updated their story to indicate an arrest has been made. So there’s that to be grateful for too.
