Pedestrian critical after collision
A woman pedestrian is in critical condition after a ricochet from a collision by two speeding cars at Jean‑Talon and St‑Laurent, early Sunday.
It’s a walking person’s nightmare. There’s no date on this other CTV story from a few years ago, which happened a block north of this morning’s incident. In that case, a ricocheting vehicle plowed into the entrance of de Castelnau metro, obliterating a man who happened to be in the way. (A brief report from Radio‑Canada places that incident as ten years ago.)
You can be a careful pedestrian, walking peacefully and lawfully along, then two speeders collide and a vehicle surges onto the sidewalk and either kills you or mangles you, and nothing you could have done to avoid it.
