Police seek truck that left one dead in apparent hit and run near Montreal

BROSSARD, Que. — Quebec provincial police were searching Thursday for a truck involved in a hit and run near Montreal that left one person dead in a car.

Three other people in the car were injured in the accident on Highway 30 eastbound in Brossard, just south of Montreal.

Police say a tractor trailer struck the vehicle at about 1 a.m., causing it to hit a lamppost.

A 21-year-old male passenger in the back seat died while the three other occupants suffered injuries that were not considered life-threatening.

Police spokeswoman Ingrid Asselin said the four were from the same family and came from Mexico.
