Montreal mom dead, boy critical after being struck by car driven by 90-year-old
MONTREAL — The potential danger of aging seniors behind the wheel is being highlighted after a 90-year-old driver struck and killed a Montreal woman and left her young son in critical condition over the weekend.
Police said a 44-year-old mother was walking in a shopping centre parking lot Sunday with her five-year-old son when they were struck by a car.
Spokeswoman Caroline Chevrefils said during an interview Monday that the driver was met by investigators at the scene and “was a little bit confused and a little bit in a state of shock.”
The woman was transported to hospital where she died of her injuries and the boy’s father was at his side at the hospital on Monday.
