Woman in bad shape after being hit by bus
A pedestrian is in critical condition after being hit by an STM bus on St‑Laurent Blvd. in Ahuntsic.
Update: On Twitter, CJAD’s Shuyee Lee is reporting that the woman has died. Lee makes it 15 pedestrians killed in traffic this year. I had it at 11, same number as homicides. CTV has the report but isn’t giving any number.

I got an E-mail from the police last week saying “le SPVM recense 13 piétons victimes de collisions” They don’t say they all died, but I would assume there were more non-fatal collisions involving pedestrians, so maybe it is 15.

On July 3, Radio-Canada counted nine pedestrian fatalities here. I don’t think another half dozen have been killed in the two months since that item, but it’s possible that some didn’t make the news.

John B, there’s an order of magnitude more pedestrians hurt than killed. Not sure their exact meaning of “victimes”…
