A pedestrian was left with serious injuries after getting hit by a vehicle in Montreal's Rosemont–La-Petite-Patrie borough Wednesday night, Montreal police report.

The collision occurred near the intersection of avenue de Lorimier and rue Saint-Zotique at around 10 p.m. SPVM spokesperson Raphaël Bergeron said the driver was heading south on de Lorimier when he hit the pedestrian, a woman.

According to Bergeron, the driver, a 63-year-old man, "could not avoid the collision."

The woman was "rushed" to the hospital in serious condition. The spokesperson said that as of 11:30 p.m. Wednesday investigators were still trying to determine why she was in the street.
