Woman knocked down in hit-and-run
The corner of de Maisonneuve and Decarie has never been a propitious one for pedestrians. A woman of 84 was knocked down Thursday afternoon by a vehicle on the turn, and the driver sped away. Cops are looking for it.

I hope it’s not true but likely a death sentence.

Sad. 85 years old, still able to go out on her own because she took care of her health. Last year an 89 year old man… We need protective infrastructure for pedestrians and bikes at that speedway intersection! Maybe vehicles exiting the 720 St. Jacques should be blocked from Decarie. . Hundreds and hundreds of pedestrians cross there every day.

Friday morning, there’s no news item saying the woman died of her injuries, so it’s not quite RIP yet. The one upside of where she was knocked down is that it was so close to the MUHC.

It was my dear sweet aunt Anna. She died Friday Sept-11th at 2:30pm. Our family is devastated.
She was a sweet soul that did so much for her family. We pray that the Police find the person that is responsible for taking an innocent life. May she Rest In Peace.

It’s a travesty that work was done on that corner recently related to the hospital and bike paths but nothing done to make it safer for people on foot.
