A man of 27 years was between life and death in the hospital following a violent collision occurred a few moments after being saved from a first accident, on Tuesday morning, to Montreal.

Around 7: 30, the hit would have been involved in an accident, all minor, at the corner of rue Sainte-Catherine and Joliette, in Hochelaga-Maisonneuve.

Rather than stopping, the motorist would have taken the flight before being involved in a second collision a few hundred metres away, at the intersection of rue Sainte-Catherine and Préfontaine.

Under the force of the impact, the vehicle of the suspect has made at least a barrel and finished his race on the side, in the middle of the street.
